22 CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT - Conservation Area No7: FRAMPTON ON SEVERN Modern infill buildings There are several modern buildings, built since the 1960s in Church End, but only one is truly successful. Going down the route of the traditional vernacular, rather than any progressive modern design, the new house on the corner, now known as Kaowen, correctly interprets the characteristics of Frampton on Severn’s local construction methods. It is built with sympathetic materials, and, very importantly, to an appropriate scale. The narrow, steep- roofed, lime- rendered, box- framed element to the building, allied with the lower, one and a half storey brick range, with its little dormers, is the right form for a locally found building. The further extension with its wood cladding appears truly subservient, a typical incremental addition. It is a fairly large cottage, but the proportions are all correct. Other new builds have attempted to replicate typical local features, such as the large external chimney stack, but without the building having been constructed to the correct proportions overall, and with insufficient detailing, such things will always appear mere token gestures and are better not attempted. Frampton bricks will never be available again, but many brick suppliers do make products that replicate the multi-tonal colours, and even the firing faults of historic examples. Those used for Kaowen have proved to be passable imitations. However, the wood stain used on the window frames and doors is non- traditional and for the sake of authenticity should not have been used. Stroud District Council
