We felt that the works as proposed negatively affected the character of the building and group of buildings, and that is problematic given the importance of Little Hall within Heslington Conservation Area.
Despite the argument that the current extension is not of historic value and can be altered without further impacting Little Hall, this is a missed opportunity to make renovations that are more in harmony and have a positive impact on the heritage.

# data[].attributes.body
Positive:
- replacement of 20th c. concrete floor in Main Hall with a more sympathetic, breathable material

Neutral/Negative:
- Alterations not visible from street, but most works face central courtyard, impacting the look of the property as a whole. Without photos it is difficult to assess whether the new design will be an improvement over the existing extension.
- possibly visible from second story of neighbouring property
- panelling will be removed on 1st fl to allow installation of cabinetry, but patterns will be matched and original fabric will be retained for future reinstallation
- Chinese style influencing new windows & doors in extensions. Much effort is made to justify the design, but it feels unsympathetic with the property as a whole
-Creation of opening in wall- will remove some historic fabric, and will also be incongruous with Georgian layout.

Alterations being made to accommodate modern living.

Ground floor:

First floor:

1. Subdivide bathroom to create dressing room

2. Widen opening to Master bedroom (affects internal wall)

3. Install storage in bedroom (removal of panelling)

Notes:
- works primarily involve extension where "significance of fabric is less sensitive than Georgian house" and impacts are clearly outlined
- an argument is made that because the extensions are late 20th c and already very different from the main house, they should continue to provide contrast highlighting the character of the main house. (p. 6 Htge Stmt). This is used to justify further changes to windows and 'Chinese design characteristics'.
- in conversations with Conservation Officer about previous works on the property a Victorian era look was agreed for windows, they argue that doesn't apply here because of residential use vs agricultural

LIttle Hall is noted as significant within the Main Street South area as one of two GII* listed buildings.

# data[].attributes.body
"The traditional multi-paned or four-paned sash windows are intact in most properties. The predominant building materials are pinkish brown brick with roofing of pantile and some plain tile and Welsh slate. A red detail brick is often found. Manor House and Little Hall are set in spacious grounds, with their front garden walls maintaining the continuity of the street frontage. The main elements of the character and appearance of the area are:- (1) The magnificence of Heslington Hall at the hub of the village; in both a physical and social sense the bond between the traditional village and the new University complex. (2) The way in which Heslington retains its own identity, with a rich heritage of streets, vernacular buildings, trees and open spaces. (3) The linear street qualities of Heslington Lane and Main Street, each individual in its own way. (4) The charm of the rural setting of the south-west outer edge of Main Street. The visual unity of the street itself, in having retained so much of its traditional form and building fabric"

- the gardens between buildings are considered
- where modern materials have been added, reinstatement of original features is encouraged
- the development of redundant farms and farmyards should retain the history and memory of that farm and place

Argues that the group of buildings developed over time and is not designed to be read as a unit. Agricultural buildings were redundant supporting conversion to residential. Approved.

The law provides that buildings and other structures that pre-date July 1948 and are within the curtilage of a listed building are to be treated as part of the listed building.

Working out whether a building has a curtilage and the extent of that curtilage can be difficult. It is important because altering or demolishing such curtilage structures may require listed building consent and carrying out works without having obtained listed building consent when it is needed is a criminal offence. It is therefore important to assess the extent of the curtilage of a listed building with confidence.

This advice note gives hypothetical examples to assist in that assessment. It is based on the current legislative provision in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (S. 1[5]) and consideration of listed buildings and curtilage in legal cases.

It will be for the local planning authority to reach a conclusion as to whether or not buildings are within a particular curtilage, and ultimately a matter for the court to determine if that decision is thought unreasonable.
