1. Introduction

The proposed development at Milton Avenue Clitheroe re-

ceived a resolution to approval subject to the approval of the

house detailing and the agreement of the deed of variation for

the section 106 at planning committee in April 2016.

This document has been produced to provide the information

to enable the approval of the house type detailing.

The document will review the architectural language that has

been used in the surrounding streets to the development and

provide the basis for the architectural style of the individual

and groups of buildings within the development.

The aim is to create an external built form of high quality that

will complement and respond to the setting whilst creating a

sense of place. The choice of materials and associated detail-

ing should seek to reinforce the architectural expression and

identity of the buildings within the surrounding area.

2. Surrounding Area.

The main approach to the site from Clitheroe town centre is via Waddington Road (B6478), the housing along the road com-

prise of large terrace houses, Semi detached properties of varying sizes and some large detached properties. The streets

heading off Waddington Road in a North Easterly direction away from the development consist of terrace blocks, large semi

detached and detached dwellings. The streets running in a South Westerly direction from Waddington Road heading towards

the development consist of terrace blocks and semi detached properties.

Waddington Road:-

The properties running along Waddington Road in a Westerly direction leading up to Milton Avenue are all built out of stone

with grey slate roofs. The architectural features of the large terrace blocks consist of chimneys, bay windows 1 and 2 storeys,

canopies above front doors, timber facia and barge boards, varying windows and door styles, stone surround to front doors

and windows, stone quoins to the corner plots and the roofline is punctuated by pikes and hipped bay roofs. The semi de-

tached/detached properties have similar details, chimneys, a vertical emphasis to the windows, bay windows, stone window

and door surrounds and fan lights above the front door. The dominant feature is the gable fronts that break the roofline these

are finished with overhanging timber facias. As you progress passed Milton Avenue the elevation style changes, the materials

change to red brick, pebbledash render and grey slate roofs and stone cills. No window surrounds are present. The windows

in this part of Waddington Road have less of a vertical emphasis, bay windows are the main elevation feature, chimneys and a

brick arch to form a porch for the front door are common.

2. Surrounding Area.

whilst creating a sense of place.
