Thank you for consulting the Conservation Team on this application.

This property is identified as a non-designated heritage asset within the Thornham Conservation Area.

This row of buildings are shown on Faden's Map of Norfolk (1790 ' 1794) and the Tithe Map (1836 ' 1850) and they are clearly of some age and historic significance and make a positive contribution to the character and history of the village.

This application seeks consent to construct a small two storey side extension towards the rear of the building. The extension is subservient and modest in design and will therefore cause no harm to the character of the conservation area or the street scene.

However, the Design & Access Statement & Heritage Impact Assessment describes the property as a two-storey detached dwelling constructed in red brick. However, the property appears to be semi-detached with painted brick on the front elevation, and flint and brick extensions to the rear. Section 5 refers to the extension being built with 'matching red brick', but as there is very little red brick visible. Please therefore condition a sample of bricks to be made available, to ensure they are appropriate for the building and the conservation area.
