On reading the above document I am very disappointed that the last sentence<br />
on the page Character Area 1in the paragraph headed Layout states ‘The village<br />
is unusual in the <strong>District</strong> as it does not have a church, instead worshippers make<br />
their way to nearby Skipwith or Bubwith’<br />
The Methodist Church stands at the junction of main street and the A163 and is<br />
even seen in the third picture on that particular page. The original Primitive<br />
Church was built in 1821 and although now demolished is marked by a stone.<br />
The Wesleyan Church, built 1834, is now used as a meeting room and is<br />
attached to the present Methodist church which was built in 1876 and which<br />
holds services weekly.<br />
At the end of the last sentence in the second paragraph headed Layout the<br />
statement says ‘……development of a small school.’ I am not aware what<br />
constitutes a ‘small school’ but with presently well over 100 pupils wonder if this<br />
is correct.<br />
The information regarding the church and school in the document is very<br />
misleading and does not portray the facilities available within the village<br />
correctly.<br />
I agree that the core theme of detached houses and brick construction remains<br />
prevalent. This is one of the things that originally attracted us to the village 5<br />
years ago. The development away from the 3 main streets is rather uniform and<br />
The text considers the appearance of the<br />
village and refers to a “typical” Church of<br />
England facility with a tower or spire that would<br />
normally be found in a village. It was not<br />
intended to cover all religious orders, nor was it<br />
intended to offend.<br />
The VDS may be usefully amended to be clear<br />
as to the context of the above, and also to<br />
include information about the Methodist church<br />
Agree make changes<br />
The “smallness” of the school is subjective, and<br />
in terms of the VDS design guidance, largely<br />
irrelevant. However in the interests of<br />
completeness, remove the word “small”.<br />
Agree make changes<br />
Support welcome.<br />
