Info

The curved nature of the Trent Valley Road results in consistent architectural facades cominginto and out of view at specific points along this route. This effect is accentuated by theelevated nature of properties in relation to this road that prevent views into the front gardensat close quarters, whilst allowing views towards the buildings from a distance. Views alongTrent Valley Road are enhanced at the junction of Thistley Hough, Hunter’s Way and TrentValley Road, due to the attractive corner buildings situated at the entrance to Thistley Hough.FIGURE 9: Showing the views across the greenspace to the CroftThe end house set on an angle at the end of Bromley Hough enhances the view on thisstretch of road, from Trent Valley Road. However, a lot of hedging has been replaced withclose board timber fencing, which serves to detract from the views on this road.Again, views along Barnfield are enhanced by the consistent groupings of architecturalfacades, reflecting the different eras in which the properties were built. A key grouping withinthis stretch of road is the green, where the buildings have been set back from the establishedbuilding line to form a feature space within this area, whilst providing a small green.FIGURE 10: Showing the green aspect of the <strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>Area</strong>Views within Lowndes Close are marred by on street car parking and bland architecture.14
Glimpsed view of properties to the rear of Thistley Hough and Barnfield are available fromMeliden Way. Rear views of properties on the southern approach to Trent Valley Road areavailable from the entrance to the allotments on Bromley Hough.FIGURE 11: The view towards the East with Fenton Church in the centreKey views are provided to the surrounding townscape from the conservation area, asillustrated in figure 12.Due to the elevated nature of the site, clear views of Stoke are available from Thistley Houghtowards Hunters Way, and likewise from The Croft towards James Street.15
