I n t r o d u c t i o n d e s i g n a n d a c c e s s s t a t e m e n t Purpose This Design and Access Statement has been prepared by rg+p Ltd. It supports the application submitted by rg+p for a residential development at the Waggon & Horses public house, Main Street, Brinsley. Proposal The pub building will be converted into a 4-bed house, with 4 new houses built in the grounds. The format of the statement is derived from the relevant legislation, as well as guidance issued by the Government’s Communities and Local Government Department, and by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment. All plans and drawings are excerpts for illustrative purposes only and are therefore not scalable. The Waggon & Horses is in an area well-served by pubs (there are 13 within 1¼ miles). It is no longer viable for it to compete with these other premises, many of which have better parking and food facilities to cater for more customers. The scheme has therefore arisen from the need to find a new use for the pub and its grounds. Two new 4-bed houses will be west of the pub and two new 3- bed houses will be east of the pub. All the dwellings will be served off a single vehicle access, using the existing main car park access opposite High Street. The existing public footpath through the site will remain as it is.

A s s e s s m e n t d e s i g n a n d a c c e s s s t a t e m e n t Physical pub pub This corner site is about 0.22ha and an irregular shape, bounded by Main Street, Broad Lane and houses, on land that slopes down from east to west. The two-storey brick and tile late 19 th Century pub sits roughly in the middle of the site. On its west side is a public footpath that runs southwards through the village. The pub garden, with semi-mature trees, and car park are on its east side, fronting Broad Lane. 1 Start of Public Footpath (left of centre) 3 1 5 Photo Locations 2 View across beer garden and car park from Broad Lane pub The triangular piece of land on the west side of the footpath is unused and somewhat overgrown. The total area of hardstanding on the site amounts to 2 400sqm. As the photos show, the site is in a residential area of 4 3 View eastwards from Main Street mixed house types, though mainly two-storey and with pub 3 bedrooms. Existing landscaping features soften the pub appearance, reflecting the semi-rural location. None of the trees are protected and the site is not in a conservation area. The building is not listed and there are no adjacent listed buildings. 4 5 View between houses at rear (St John’s Close) View of site as from High Street H o u s i n g , W a g g o n & H o r s e s , B r i n s l e y 2
