9.28 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> Farm has several modern<br />
barns/sheds associated with the<br />
agricultural use of the site. Although<br />
they do not reflect the historic<br />
construction of farm buildings evident<br />
elsewhere on the farm they are typical<br />
of their context, utilitarian in style<br />
and use and do not cause harm to the<br />
setting. Overall these agricultural<br />
barns/sheds whilst not enhancing the<br />
<strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>Area</strong>, equally are not<br />
deemed to detract from it.<br />
9.29 Nos. 1-4 Throop Road date from the<br />
1920s and although altered, contain<br />
elements of period detail including<br />
chimney stacks and decorative brick<br />
banding. They are simple in form<br />
and appearance and sit relatively<br />
comfortably within the street scene.<br />
The scale of the original dwellings<br />
and their red brick construction<br />
is reflective of other properties<br />
within the conservation area. Whilst<br />
they have undergone a number of<br />
alterations including a large extension<br />
to No 2 and the insertion of plastic<br />
windows, overall they are considered<br />
to make a neutral contribution to the<br />
conservation area.<br />
one which detracts from its character<br />
and appearance. One such building<br />
has been identified in the <strong>Conservation</strong><br />
<strong>Area</strong> – the Longbarrow Allotment<br />
building. Although the allotment site<br />
itself makes an important and valuable<br />
contribution to the conservation area<br />
as part of the landscape setting,<br />
the large modern green shed that is<br />
of a utilitarian design does not. Its<br />
appearance, form and materials are<br />
not reflective of the other agricultural<br />
buildings which characterise the area.<br />
The use of metal rather than timber for<br />
the facing material is not sympathetic<br />
to the landscape setting. If this<br />
building were to be altered or replaced<br />
in the future then any scheme would<br />
need to give careful consideration to<br />
the sensitive location of the building<br />
to ensure that it was of a high quality<br />
design which respected its site and<br />
surroundings.<br />

9.31 There are 11 individual listings within<br />
the <strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>Area</strong> covering 1<br />
church, 3 tombstones, 9 dwellings and<br />
17 gas lamps (the rest of the group of<br />
28 lamps are beyond the <strong>Conservation</strong><br />
<strong>Area</strong>). See Figure 14 for their location<br />
within the <strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>Area</strong>. A<br />

listed buildings can be found in<br />
