Extractions: 19 August 2002 new USE FOR old bringing new life to farm buildings Guidelines, setting out how redundant farm buildings can be given a new lease of life, are being prepared by Huntingdonshire District Council. The district has many farm buildings, such as barns, stables and stores, which are no longer being used. The aim of the guidelines which in due course will be adopted as supplementary planning guidance is to set out the ways in which conversions can take place in such a way that the essential character of the buildings and their contribution to the local environment can be conserved or enhanced. For buildings in isolated rural areas there will be advice on how matters such as access and traffic generation should be addressed. The councils cabinet has given its approval for the document to be sent to local town and parish councils and other interested parties for consultation. Councillor Nick Guyatt, the councils planning strategy portfolio holder, said: I am delighted that we have produced this guidance. It is something positive we can do to encourage farm diversification schemes and help farmers to boost their incomes in difficult times. Barns and other farm buildings are significant features in the rural landscape so it is important that conversion schemes are of a high quality. Setting out principles to be followed is a way of ensuring that high standards are met.
Extractions: The RDBA was formed in 1956 and until 1991 was known as the Farm Buildings Association. We are still today the only Association in the UK having the detailed knowledge of the function and environmental requirements of a modern agricultural building, together with the breadth of expertise in their siting, planning, design and construction. This expertise also extends to conversion for diversification and other rural building design issues. Aims of the RDBA To provide opportunities for those interested in and concerned with Rural Design and Rural Building to meet and exchange information, ideas and experiences relating to these subjects. To encourage the investigation of problems and matters pertaining to Rural Design and Rural Buildings and their equipment. To collect and publish information relating to Rural Design and Rural Building. To stimulate the incorporation into practice of advances resulting from research, experimental work and practical experience. To co-operate with any other organisation in furthering any of the objects of the Association. There is a branch structure with most branches holding: regular meetings, interesting and informative visits, seminars and presentations on subjects of interest.

Photo by Kathy Flickinger A photo exhibit, created by the University's Center for Historic Architecture and Design to recognize Delaware's agricultural lands and architecture, is open at the Delaware Agricultural Museum and Village in Dover. "Aglands: A Celebration of Delaware's Farms" uses photos and artifacts to tell the story of farmer and preservationist partnerships to save farms and protect architectural and agricultural traditions in the First State. It is designed to complement a traveling photo exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution that opened at the same museum Sept. 21. That exhibit, "Barn Again! Celebrating an American Icon," examines America's changing agricultural landscape and will include lectures by Center for Historic Architecture and Design director David L. Ames. "Barn Again!" also uses photos and artifacts to show barns in all segments of American life, including their use in advertising. The exhibit examines various architectural styles of barns, explores the barn as a cultural icon and looks at the changing nature of agriculture. It includes the image of the barn in

Extractions: Ivy Farm Lane (Canley Hamlet) Conservation Area Transcript from relevant parts of Coventry City Council June 1989 draft brochure, with updates where needed. Introduction The conservation area is situated about 7.2 km (4½ miles) south-west of the city centre and was designated a Conservation Area on 16th November 1989 in order to preserve and enhance the general character of the area. The area maintains a strong rural character, a result of the building type and form, the street pattern and the landscape qualities. Ivy Farm Lane, Cannocks Lane and Shultern Lane are all shown on maps dating from as early as 1597. The area once formed the old hamlet of Canley, and was based on a number of separate farms. Today, the area is surrounded to its west by Canley Cemetery, to its north by Canley Nurseries and to its south and east by modern estate development. Despite this it maintains a strong rural character, a result of the building type and form, the street pattern and the landscape qualities. Ivy Farm Lane is narrow and winding and characterised by sporadic verges and enclosing hedges, trees and walls.

Extractions: Site Tools Search options Site map Site i ... A-Z of Planning Most people will be concerned with the conversion of barns but the principles set out here also apply to other farm buildings such as cart sheds, pigsties, mistals and stables. The shape, materials, function and location of farm buildings vary from region to region throughout the country. From them we can get information on local architectural styles and craftsmanship, regional and local economies, patterns of settlement and their changes through time. Their presence is far more than a visual amenity, important though this role is; they are also original evidence presenting us with historical information not otherwise available, which deserves to be retained. Traditionally constructed farm buildings are part of Calderdale's heritage. They contribute to the architectural and historic character of the District and to its landscape quality. More than 360 barns in Calderdale are listed by the Government and the Council has a duty to operate a sensitive approach to conversion.

Extractions: In lowland England, manors were converted in the late Saxon period into open-field communal farms. The chief farm buildings were attached to the manor house; the village for the farm workers lay close by. In other parts of Britain a pattern of scattered farmsteads remained the norm. In upland areas, cattle and sheep were moved in summer to high pastures, where a temporary summerhouse was built, some of which were later converted into permanent farmsteads. From the later Middle Ages to the 19C the open fields were gradually enclosed. When fairly carried out, enclosure exchanged a tenant's scattered strips in the open fields for a consolidated holding, encouraging the building of new farms away from the village. The date of enclosure may therefore help to date a farm complex. (To track down the date see W.E. Tate, Domesday of English Enclosure Acts and Awards Meanwhile the wealthier manorial lords built ever grander houses on their preferred manors, often distanced from the smells of the manor farm. In some cases the old manor house and farm in the village was leased, while the lord moved to a new mansion set in parkland. In other cases the farm or even the whole village was moved away from the grand house. However, some Georgian landowners were at the forefront of the Agricultural Revolution, turning their home farms and/or tenant farms into model farms , built on a courtyard plan. Books of such plans were published in the 18C and 19C (see
