Description

This application relates to phase two of the works at Newbold Pacey Hall, continuing the conservation-led approach established under the approved phase one scheme. The proposals focus on the removal of later, low-quality additions, the reinstatement of architectural coherence, and sensitive adaptation to support occupation as a single family dwelling, all with minimal impact on historic fabric. Externally, the works include the removal of a poorly constructed 20th-century lean-to on the north elevation and its replacement with a modest single-storey service extension on an established historic footprint. This will provide a practical day-to-day entrance with associated boot room and cloakroom facilities, consolidating modern service functions discreetly within the north wing. An orangery is proposed on the west facade, on the site of a former smoking room, reconnecting the principal rooms with the walled garden while addressing longstanding damp issues. Further works include the repair and reuse of a lean-to outbuilding within the walled garden, including the introduction of glazed doors within the garden wall to provide access and improve functionality, while ensuring the structure remains clearly secondary to the main house. A terrace is proposed to the east elevation of the south block, reinstating an appropriate and historically informed relationship between the house and its garden setting. In addition, a breathable traditional limewash is proposed to unify the existing patch-repaired render and enhance the appearance and performance of the historic elevation. Internally, the proposals include the removal of a later staircase to restore historic spatial clarity, the reopening of a blocked historic doorway to reinstate the original enfilade, and the sensitive reuse of an existing window opening to form a connecting doorway, minimising intervention into historic fabric.
