         Conservation Area Appraisal
             Consultation Period: Monday 17 June - Monday 29 July
What is a Conservation Area?
A Conservation Area is defined in legislation as an area of ‘special architectural or historic interest,
the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’. Once a Conservation
Area is designated the Council is required to preserve or enhance the character of the area
and development proposals have to be considered in light of this requirement. Local authorities
are required to review the extent of designation and to draw up and publish proposals for the
preservation and enhancement of their conservation areas.

Draft East Grinstead Conservation Area Appraisal
Mid Sussex District Council has carried out an appraisal of the East Grinstead Conservation Area.
The first part of the Draft East Grinstead Conservation Area Appraisal document clearly defines
                                       the special architectural and historic interest that justifies
                                       its designation. The second part of the document sets out
                                       a series of Management Proposals which are measures
                                      to address the issues affecting the special interest of the
                                      Conservation Area and to preserve and enhance its character.
                                      These include proposed boundary changes.

Draft East Grinstead Conservation Area Appraisal
East Grinstead Conservation Area: Special Interest

East Grinstead is one of the best surviving medieval market towns in Sussex, famous for its
timber framed buildings and its ridgeline setting within the High Weald landscape.

Remarkably, much of its medieval town plan is still evident
today. The wide High Street running east-west, is lined by
regular burgage plots, with long thin Portlands running behind
                                    these at right angles to
                                    the street. The section to
                                    the rear of numbers 58-
                                    84 High Street represents
                                    the only surviving block of
                                    whole and undeveloped
                                    medieval Portlands within
                                    the town and, as such, is
                                    an important surviving feature of the early urban landscape.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The Conservation Area contains a high number

rest of the Conservation Area. Another delightful characteristic found along the High Street is the
island of free standing buildings of Middle Row, with its

The appearance and character of the Conservation

rich variety of architectural forms, styles and visibility
and attractiveness of the materials represented in its

Draft East Grinstead Conservation Area Appraisal
Part A: Character Areas
Part A of the document forms the appraisal of the Conservation Area. It
identifies the elements that contribute the special historic and architectural
character of the Conservation Area.

The predominant character of the Conservation Area is largely derived from
the survival of the original medieval street pattern and the historic buildings
that lines these. However, within the overall Conservation Area there are
four distinct areas that can be identified.
The Church, Sackville College, the Water Tower and cottages along
Church Lane
This character area forms the north eastern part of the conservation area.
Its coherence is largely defined by three large landmark buildings of St
Swithun’s Church, Sackville College and the Water Tower, set in spacious
grounds, as opposed to the tight urban grain and sense of enclosure of
the High Street Character Area. This character area comprise irregular
land plots that were not part of the original formal town plan, but were later
assimilated into it. It includes a number of cottages that line Church Lane
which were originally typical medieval encroachments at the commercial
heart of the town and which have historical association with the church and
Sackville College.

                                    The High Street
                                     This character area gives the Conservation Area its
                                     distinctive and dominant character and appearance. Its main
                                     characteristics are covered in detail in the first sections of the
                                     Appraisal. It covers the area of the original medieval town plan
                                     and forms part of the commercial centre of East Grinstead. The
                                     cohesiveness of this character area is derived from: the long
                                     lines of historic buildings and burgage plots located either side
                                     of the High Street that provide continuity and enclosure; the rich
                                     architectural detailing and the visibility and attractiveness of the
historic fabric; and the lively and vibrant character created by the independent shops, cafes and
pubs with their ornamented traditional shopfronts.

                                 Western Area
                                 This character area forms the north western edge of the
                                 conservation area containing mostly a fine grain townscape of
                                 rows of tightly grouped buildings on the prominent corners and
                                 intersection of London Road, West Street and Ship Street. The
                                 buildings are a variety of styles and ages comprising parades of
                                 two and three storey shops, pub
                                 and church, and a terrace of
                                 Victorian properties.
Old Road
This a small distinct character area at the eastern edge of the
Conservation Area set down in the valley below College and
Lewes Roads. It comprises a terrace of four late 17th/early18th
century uniform cottages on the southern side of Old Road.
Draft East Grinstead Conservation Area Appraisal
Negative Features
The following negative features were noted during the survey work for the Appraisal:

There is some evidence of unsympathetic changes to buildings
in the Conservation Area such as the use of UPVC windows and
overly large dormers.

                                  There are some shops in the
                                  Conservation Area that have
                                  modern shopfronts with an
                                  uniform appearance, overly
                                  large fascia boards, and heavy
                                  glazing bars.

                                    Some of the rear service
                                    yards at the western end of
the Conservation Area are rundown in appearance. There is a
general lack of repairs and a proliferation of extractor and air
conditioning units along with unsightly commercial wastebins and
external storage of materials.

                                   There is a proliferation of
                                   wastebins on the southern
                                   side of Middle Row and in the pedestrian lane where the
                                   properties on the northern side of the High Street back onto the
                                   churchyard.

                                   Vans and lorries parked up
                                   on pavements making service
                                   deliveries.

                                  The amount of traffic passing
                                  through the Conservation Area.

                                  The new development at
                                  Queens Walk dominates some
                                  of the views on the western
                                  approach to the Conservation
                                  Area.

                                  Cromwell House is currently vacant and has a general lack of
