Introduc� onIntroduc� on
Introduction
This Design and Access Statement has been prepared in support of a
detailed planning application for the erection of 3no. fi xed parasols for
Chatsworth Farm Shop located near the village of Pilsley on the B6048.
The current site is of mixed use, comprising of the Chatsworth Farm Shop
and Restaurant housed in former farm buildings, a car park which supports
the two establishments an additional staff car park which is used as an
overfl ow car park during peak season, and a single storey toilet block.
The site forms part of the wider Chatsworth House Estate.
Given the recent government guidelines to the hospitality sector due to the
covid 19 pandemic and the social distancing advice.
It is the clients intention to install 3no. large parasols to provide a covered
area over the existing outdoor seating area.
Our client is initially looking to site ‘moveable’ weighted base parasols and
separate pyramid calor heaters to co-incide with the Government easing
of restrictions re outdoor eating ie for W/C 12th April, but which could
hopefully be ground fi xed (made more permanent, though still moveable)
subject to planning permission.
As part of this document we will outline the justifi cation for the proposals
in the context of planning policy and design parameters.
The Design and Access Statement should be read in conjunction with
submitted drawings and other supporting documents.

Site Loca� on, Context & Analysis
The site is located at Chatsworth Estate Farm Shop, Pilsley, Bakewell,
Derbyshire, DE45 1UF
Site Context & Analysis
The site is located within the curtilage of the Chatsworth Farm Shop,
accessed to the north west from the B6068 via a shared driveway. The
former farm and now shop/restaurant is situated along the south west half
of the site. The farm buildings form an enclosed courtyard which is ac-
cessed from the southern corner, the courtyard is now used for deliveries
and temporary shop space during peak times.
The northwest and northeast of the site are car parking to support the
Farm Shop, with a bin enclosure and toilet block to the southeast of the car
park. To the North of the site a staff car park is accessed through a
gateway and forms part of the wider Chatsworth House Estate.
The site boundaries consist of estate fencing along the south west and
north west boundaries, whilst the south east, east and north eastern
boundaries consists of a drystone retaining wall, grass verge and hedge
combination.
Pre Application Advise
As part of the pre-application discussions. Liam Spivey (Chatsworth farm-
shop manager ) was advised from Peak Park Planning Authority that
because of the parasols size, degree of permanence and physical attach-
ment to the ground, the parasols constitute operational development and
therefore need planning permission.

Heritage & Planning Context
Planning Policy Constraints
The site is located within the Peak District National Park. Despite being
owned by the Chatsworth House Estate the Farm Shop does not fall under
the Chatsworth House listing. The boundary for the listing is around 300m
from the vicinity of the site with Chatsworth House located around 600m
away.
The neighbouring Pilsley House is grade II listed. Pilsley House is a two
storey house constructed in 1840 by Joseph Paxton. The house is of
architectural and historical interest, notably its built form of coursed sand-
stone and its Architect. Two other listed buildings lie within proximity of
Pilsley village, Pilsley School and Top house both constructed between
1938-1949 by Joseph Paxton.
The site is partially located within the Pilsley Village conservation area.
The Farm Shop is designated as area D and is Architecturally linked with
Area C (Paxton’s Pilsley), it is noted for its larger scale and mass in com-
parison to all other areas of the conservation area, and its separation from
the village both physical and visual.
The Toilet block is a recent addition. built in 1993 and is situated on the
boundary of the Pilsley conservation area.

Design Proposals
Analysis of Existing Outdoor Seating Area
The existing outdoor seating area comprises of 9no. 2m high free
standing parasols with associated tables and chairs that provide a fl ex-
ible outdoor seating arrangement for customers visiting the farmshop
cafe.
The outdoor seating area is bounded by a timber post and chain
arrangement.
Client Aim
It is the clients proposals to replace the 9no. freestanding parasols with
3 larger parasols which will be recessed into the ground and form a
more permanent fi xture.
It is worth noting that the parasols can be removed from the ‘sleeves’
in the ground on occasions when the weather is particularly bad or for
maintenance purposes.
The parasols are to line up with the existing stone piers on the farm
shop cafe to provide an unobstructed view from the internal cafe seat-
ing.
The impact on the customer viewed area would then be very minimal
and would return the outdoor seating area to a style of parasol seen a
few years ago at the Farm Shop Cafe.

Proposed Site Plan

Access
Access would not be affected by the proposals due to working within the
existing outdoor seating area.
Scale
The parasols are 4500(d) x 5500(w) x 3190(h) in there open position
(4410mm high in there closed position)
Materiality
All colours involved have been selected to be very sympathetic to the sur-
roundings
The parasols are to comprise of a circular vertical support post in natural
anodised aluminium fi nish. The parasol shade colour is to be a bamboo/
cream in colour to be sympathetic to the existing building and its setting.
Amenity
The parasols,will improve the outdoor environment in terms of weather
protection and seating capacity due to the social distancing impacts on
internal seating capacity.
‘under parasol’ mounted fi xed heaters are proposed to be power fed from
the shop with cabling leading under the stone slabs to the ground fi xed
parasols.
Landscaping
The proposals are designed to limit any effect on the existing landscaping.
The design and size are sensitive to its surroundings.
Vehicular & Pedestrian Flows
There will be no change to the traffi c and pedestrian fl ows as a result of
the proposal.
Design Proposals
Heritage Impact
The sites location and vicinity creates an important and complex heritage
context, however the proposals impact on all historic elements is minimal.
National Park
The site features and boundary treatments visually separate the farm shop
from the surrounding landscape, ensuring any development has a minimal
impact on the national park setting.
Listed Building and Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest
The distance and topography that separates Chatsworth House and Park-
land means that the impact on this historic entity is negligible and does not
cause any negative impact or change.
The visual and distance separation between Pilsley School and Top house
means that the impact is negligible with existing trees, planting, verges
and walls separating the entities. Whilst Pilsley house is within the im-
mediate vicinity the impact is minimal. The topographical difference and
planting, verges and walls creating a visual barrier between the house and
the site the proposals do not alter any views towards or from the house.
Conservation Area
The site boarders the Pilsley village conservation area.
The visual barrier between the farm shop site (character zone D) and Pils-
ley village (character zone A-C) means that any alterations are of minimal
impact on the conservation zone, as described in the character assess-
ment.
