1. Site
1.1 Renalds Herne is a Grade II Listed Building within the Thorpe Conservation
Area and the rural settlement in the Green Belt.
1.2 The two-storey dwelling has a roadside frontage with a listed front wall and
railings and is sited opposite Church Approach. There is a vehicular access
to the rear with an existing outbuilding and wall at the back that separates
the parking area from the garden. The site backs onto TASIS (England)’s
grounds.
2. History
2.1 The house, front wall and railings date back to the 17th and 18th centuries.
Since 1948 the site has had an extensive planning history including
applications submitted for internal renovations and alterations as well as for
extensions. Of direct relevance is that in 1978 permission for the erection
of a double garage was granted (RU.78/0276).
2.2 Since 1990 a number of applications have been submitted. In 1994 the
erection of a single storey conservatory was granted planning permission
and Listed Building Consent (RU.94/0122 and 0123). In 1997 a single
storey extension, internal and elevation alterations and the erection of a
detached double garage following demolition of an existing garage and
carport was granted planning permission and Listed Building Consent
(RU.97/0872 and 0871).
2.3 The most recent application (RU.02/0368) was in 2002 for Listed Building
Consent for the removal of iron railings and gate and dismantling of the wall
to the front and for the rebuilding of the front wall with the original railings
and re-using the gate was granted in May 2002.
