The Hall itself was previously used as a local authority care home and has been closed
since about 2006. The building is 2 storey, a third floor having been removed some time
ago. The original part of the building is constructed of ironstone and buff brick with moulded
stone cills and other decorations. The building has been extended in a less well matching bricks.





Neighbour Representations

15. Representations have been received from 10 local residents on Clock House Court and
Manor Lane. There is some support for the scheme but some concerns.

 The main issues identified are:

 Too much development in Barleythorpe – impact on local infrastructure.
Recent developments have added to recent earthquake frequency
 Concern about traffic on Manor Lane and the proposed new access thereto.
 Increased traffic onto Main Road with the college and football ground
 Some support for restoring the Hall plans are sympathetic with the local character, and
maintains the fabric of the Hall
 Concern about new build setting a precedent especially for an appeal decision on the
adjacent site where permission has been refused for new build (greenfield site)
 Contrary to Core Strategy as a Restraint Village.
 Drainage impacts on Clock House Court
 Noise and dust from construction
 Pleasantly surprised by the scheme but request mirrors on Manor Lane to aid visibility
especially from Clock House Court.
 Impact on listed buildings on Manor
