1:0 INTRODUCTION
This guideline publication covers the Owen’s Southsea conservation area. It is one of a ser ies cover ing conservation areas in Portsmouth and providing guidance on each area. It is intended to provide supplementary planning guidance to the Portsmouth City Local Plan 2001-11.
‘Owen’s Southsea’ is the name given to the conservation area surrounding the Palmerston Road Shopping Centre. This area was designed principally by Thomas Ellis Owen and its value has been increasingly recognised in recent years. The combination of buildings, walls, trees, shrubs and road layout have given this area a distinctive picturesque character which makes a notable contribution to the character of Southsea as a whole. Unfortunately since its inception there has been a gradual erosion of this distinctiveness due to redevelopment, new uses, road widening and many other factors.
Whilst most recent pressure for redevelopment may have been reduced by public recognition of the area’s value there are still threats to its
The Owen’s Southsea conservation area is located in Southsea which is located in the southern part of Portsea Island within the City of Portsmouth.
The conservation area surrounds the Palmerston Road shopping centre.
character which could result in further deterioration of visual quality.
This report outlines the area’s history, its distinctive value and the factors leading to the loss of its visual amenity. It then establishes guidelines aimed at preventing further decay of the area’s character, as well as consolidating and enhancing the townscape quality.
The report aims to provide a framework for planning decisions within this conservation area but it also includes some general corporate guidelines concerning conservation.

3:0 HISTORY
THOMAS OWEN
Thomas Ellis Owen was born in 1805, son of Jacob Owen one time Chief Surveyor for the Board of Ordnance responsible for the design and supervision of building works in the Portsmouth Area.
T E Owen was articled to a London architect and engineer. Besides his Southsea development he surveyed Portsea Island for the Tithes Commissioners in 1838 and was involved in a scheme to improve the Camber Docks. He was responsible for the design of The Crescent, Alverstoke in Gosport in 1829. He also had interests in railways, theatres, brick making, water supply, cemeteries and banking. He was an Elected Member of the Council and was Mayor in 1847 and again at the time of his death in 1862.
OTHER VICTORIAN SUBURBS
Owen’s Southsea is an example of what has been called a ‘villa suburb’ (D.Lloyd, 1984). The earliest examples of this type of suburb include John Nash’s Park Villages in Regents Park, built c1820-30, which comprised detached villas set out on winding road with lush landscaping. There are other examples of this type of early to mid19th Century development elsewhere in the country.
This type of development appears to have been prompted by various factors including the need for new housing for expanding towns, coupled with the wish to create a more informal and picturesque alternative to the Georgian terraced house. Villa suburbs such as these form an historical link between early picturesque estate villages and
later planned settlements such as Port Sunlight and Hampstead Garden Suburb. In comparison with some of these developments, which are relatively spacious, the particular interest of Thomas Owen’s Southsea is the skilful way in which it is laid out to combine high density and picturesque effect. It is worth noting the way in which some of these features seem to anticipate more recent ideas, such as the grouping together of villas to maximise the collective impact of their gardens as landscaping, whilst the use of pinchpoints (though mainly for visual effect) helps to deter general access and anticipates their use as a form of traffic calming.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF OWEN’S SOUTHSEA
The growth of Southsea started in the early years of the 19th Century outside the fortifications of Old Portsmouth, the earliest areas to be built include The Terraces, Croxton Town and the Castle Road area.
Thomas Ellis Owen began his developments in the Grove Road area in the 1830’s and building work continued in the Kent area with Swiss Cottage (1837) and Queens Terrace (1837-40).
Further works following in Kent Road (Kent Lodge etc), Grove Road South (The Shrubbery), The Thicket (1844/6) and Queens Place (1847). Major schemes followed at the end of the 1840’s with Portland Terrace (1846), Dovercourt (1848) and St Jude’s Church (1851) and later building, in the northern part of the area, included Sussex Terrace (1854/5) and 30-34 Sussex Road (1857).
3
The three terraces south of Osborne Road :- Clifton Terrace (1856), Netley Terrace (1859/60) and Richmond Terrace (1860) are now thought (Riley, 1980) to have been built by another architect/builder Henry Gauntlett. Owen’s developments continued further south in 1851 with the layout of The Vale and buildings in Clarendon Road. He also planned an area further east around Eastern Villas Road.
Growth east of Grove Road South continued in the late 1850’s and the 1860’s with the layout of Merton Road, Nelson Road and Albany Road and this continued after Owen’s death in 1862 whilst other roads by other builders and architects were infilled with later Victorian and Edwardian houses.
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT
Early redevelopment included the building of Portsmouth High School for Girls (1886) on the site of the Owen villa (Trapezium Court) and of Branksmere 1895/6 on the site of a villa (St Helen’s).
Palmerston Road shopping centre expanded and gradually encroached on the surrounding area first in Osborne and then Clarendon Road. The Elm Grove/Kings Road shopping centre developed with shops replacing the gardens of other villas prior to construction of purpose built shops (such as New Buildings 1902/3 by Cogswell). Some ‘Owen’ houses have survived in Elm Grove, however, behind later shop extensions.
The visual quality of the area around Palmerston Road and St Jude’s Church has long been appreciated but
it has perhaps also been taken for granted and a gradual loss of buildings, walls, trees and original road layout has taken place. There has been a gradual redevelopment and infilling with business and other non-residential uses which in Grove Road South for example, has had a marked effect. Although both Palmerston Road and Kings Road shopping areas were badly damaged in World War II, there was relatively little permanent damage to the housing in the Owen’s Southsea area.
THE GROWTH OF CONSERVATION
P r e s s u r e f o r c h a n g e a n d redevelopment intensified after World War II but this was followed by a growth in interest in Owen’s Southsea developments during the 1970’s and 1980’s. A series of publications, research papers and Town trails have all served to foster public interest. The Listing of selected buildings by the Department of the Environment and t h e d e s i g n a t i o n o f s e v e r a l Conservation areas, some of which were regrouped to form the “Owen’s Southsea” outstanding conservation area in 1977, helped to encourage support for conservation objectives. The Owen’s Southsea Town Scheme was operated from 1981 -1996, to grant aid structural repairs to buildings. Numerous Tree Preservation Orders have been made to protect trees. A more recent initiative has been an “Article 4 Direction” to control satellite dish aerials.
The List Review published in 1999 strengthened listing with additional listing most notably Dovercourt. Recently The Friary (which is just outside the conservation area) was listed. More recently several Article 4
4
(2) Directions have been made to help control the effects of permitted development on the appearance of the conservation area. The Southsea Heritage Economic Regeneration Scheme (HERS) was established in 2001 to help encourage repairs of properties including shops and flats in Osborne, Marmion Road and Grove Road South. It was a joint scheme between English Heritage, Southsea Town Council and the City Council and it finished in 2005.
There has been greater attention to the conservation of individual buildings and groups of buildings and a number of notable restoration schemes have been completed. These include Portland Terrace (converted by Portsmouth Housing Association to
form flats), Branksmere (converted by Hampshire County Council to office use) and Portsmouth High School (Upper School). These schemes included restoration of important external features and followed on from works to walls and canopies at Netley Terrace carried out during Heritage Year in 1974. There has also been a variety of small scale restoration work by individual private owners often with Town Scheme grant aid.
The bicentenary of the birth of Thomas Ellis Owen was marked by a Festival which included an exhibition, walks, talks, models etc. The bicentenary was also marked by the installation of an English Heritage Blue Plaque on Owen’s own home Dovercourt.

CONSERVATION AREA 2
4:0 VISUAL CHARACTER
INTRODUCTION
The character of Thomas Owen’s Southsea derives from a combination of various elements: buildings and their details in particular, walls and fences, trees and shrubs, gardens and estate layout, together with paving materials and street furniture.
Villas and terraces are laid out in a townscape of winding roads of varying widths creating a picturesque and spacious effect. In some cases properties are grouped together or laid out at the rear of their plots to maximise the visual impact of garden land and create a sylvan effect. Buildings are glimpsed behind boundary walls and through tree and shrub planting.
Parts of the area were laid out by other architects and builders to rigid lines and fewer trees. These roads have a character quite distinct from earlier ‘Owen’ area. The houses are still substantial, enclosed by walls and hedging adding to the overall Victorian character of the area.
The area varies in detail and the next few pages briefly describe important aspects of the character of different parts of the area.
THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA
Kent Road/Sussex Road/ Queens Crescent
The north western section of the Conservation area is perhaps the best preserved. It includes several terraces, groups and individual villas.
2—10 Sussex Road showing gate piers, boundary wall and trees.
29-43 Kent Road and 2-10 Sussex Road form an L-shaped terrace, one of Owen’s earlier developments dating from 1837-40, set behind gardens and high battered garden walls. This area also includes examples of less formal, picturesque development as in the grouping of Sussex Terrace, Annesley House and 30-34 Sussex Road with a narrow winding road bounded by walls and trees.
ii Queen’s Crescent/Grove/Place/ Queen’s Place
Queen’s Crescent links Kent Road with Grove Road South on a gradual curve. It includes the Kent Hall/Lodge, Kent Cottage group and also Western Court, Kersey House, Crescent House and Woodend, which are closely grouped, giv ing re lat ive ly high densi ty development with garden land around the edge creating the impression of spaciousness.
i
7
St. Judes Close.
Other buildings and groups of note include: St Jude’s Close, a secluded close of 1858 to the north of St Jude’s Church, Tudor Court/Wilton Lodge (1860) with coloured brickwork and dutch gables, and Branksmere – a former home of the Brickwood family, dating from 1895/96, set in extensive grounds.
Branksmere.
Queen’s Place, a typical Owen road, with a terrace to the west, links Queen’s Crescent with St Edward’s Road. In the northern section of the area are a number of original villas
though some sites have been redeveloped.
iii Portland Road/Dovercourt
Portland Terrace is probably the grandest of Owen’s Southsea developments and dates from 1845-48. It is a four storey stucco terrace and, apart from Nos 1-3, is now owned by the Portsmouth Housing Association who restored and converted it to flats in the 1970s. The scheme included the restoration of the boundary wall and landscape improvements.
Portland Terrace.
Portland Terrace overlooks the extensive grounds of Owen’s own house, Dovercourt, now the Lower School of Portsmouth High School for Girls, the grounds of which include a grotto. The southern boundary of the school site is formed by Serpentine Road, a part of the original road layout.
Portland Road is now a main traffic route for buses to bypass the Palmerston Road precinct.
8
Dovercourt.
Iv Osborne Road
The conservation area includes much of Osborne Road which is part of Southsea shopping centre. The earliest building is probably Nos 72-76 which dates from c1850. Nos 52-60 is a stucco terrace with ground floor shops. Opposite are Nos 49-63 an Edwardian red brick terrace with shops below and there is a similar terrace on the south side Nos 44-48. There are some surviving original shop fronts in Osborne Road. The most impressive building is the Queens Hotel of 1903 built of red brick and terracotta.
Shops in Osborne Road.
Area South of Osborne Road
The character of this section of the area is quite distinct from other parts of
the Conservation area. There are three notable terraces.
(a) Netley Terrace – Two storey stucco terrace with dormers, w o o d e n v e r a n da h s a n d projecting three storey end pavilions. There are front garden boundary walls with d e c o r a t i v e p a n e l s . Considerable restoration work has been completed both as a European Architectural Heritage project in 1975 and later with Town Scheme grant aid.
Netley Terrace.
(b) Richmond Terrace – A two storey terrace set at right angles to Netley Terrace. It is painted and has dormers and front gardens. Some boundary walls have been removed and forecourts paved to allow off-street car parking.
(c) Clifton Terrace – A three storey stucco terrace with first floor cast iron balconies. It fronts a gravelled area separated from
9
v
Clifton Road by gates and is now adjacent to Homeheights House, a modern block of flats.
The rest of the area includes a variety of detached and semi-detached properties with a red brick terrace in Auckland Road West. Netley Road includes the Kingston Hotel which forms a group with Netley and Richmond Terraces and the Auckland Arms Public House with a coloured tile façade.
Auckland Arms.
vi Auckland Road East
Auckland Road East has similar character to that of Auckland Road West and both back onto the rear of Clarence Parade properties. The south side of this road ( in conservation area 10) includes some garages, back garden walls and some mews type housing.
There is one three-storey terrace: 1-7 Auckland Road East at the western end of the road and a number of Victorian villas. However there has been a variety of redevelopment and infill in this road and several forecourt walls have been lost for front garden parking.
vii The Vale/Villiers Road
The Vale.
The Vale is one of the most distinctive examples of Owen’s development with walls fronting curving roadways and houses set behind and glimpsed through trees and shrubs.
Villiers Road comprises semi-detached villas set at the rear of their sites to give an i l lusion of increased spaciousness. Many of the garden walls and gate pillars have been altered and some gardens are used for parking. The north side includes Summerlands, a large house in grounds set behind a high wall. There is a curved entrance from Palmerston Road with Flint Lodge, a flint faced villa closing the view.
viii Clarendon Road/The Circle/ Freestone Road
This area was mostly laid out in the 1860’s. The north side of Clarendon Road comprises semi-detached properties set in a straight line and the south side includes a number of Owen houses backing onto The Vale.
10
Originally, houses were built around and within The Circle but some were subsequently removed to straighten the tram route. To the south of Clarendon Road, the boundary of the Conservation area, is formed by Lennox Road South with some substantial Victorian houses, some stone faced and including the distinctive Clarendon and Eagle Towers.
Freestone Road.
Freestone Road to the north has pairs of semi-detached houses with ground floor canopies and original or rebuilt boundary walls.
ix Grove Road South
Grove Road South—view towards St. Jude’s Church
Grove Road South the main north-south ‘spine’ of the Conservation area was once a wide tree lined road with some of Owen’s earlier villas. It is now one of the most altered roads in the area with new developments replacing two large garages. St John’s College occupies several buildings. A now deleted road widening line led to the loss of trees and walls in the central section and villas have been lost due to redevelopment. Post war offices are now being replaced by housing. Something of the original character can be seen in the Milford Lodge/The Thicket section and near St Jude’s Church. On the east side there are shops between Marmion Road and Merton Road.
Grove Road South including No 35 dating from 1913.
x Nelson Road/Merton Road/ Albany Road/St John’s College
The area east of Grove Road South varies in character with a number of Owen villas in The Thicket and Nelson/ Ormsby Road areas set in narrow windng roads. East of Ormsby Road, Merton and Nelson Roads are wider with curving roadlines crossing over before joining Victoria Road South. Large detached and semi-detached houses are set behind walls and trees. Many boundary walls and trees survive especially in the western section of
11
Merton Road, but both Merton and Nelson Roads have undergone some redevelopment.
St John’s College occupies the majority of the area between Nelson Road and The Thicket. Their land takes in several Owen houses including The Castle of 1835; but there are a number of newer educational buildings. In view of the size of this site the boundary walls and trees are of particular importance although a number of sections of wall have been rebuilt.
Albany Road and The Thicket form the east and north boundaries of the St John’s College site. The Thicket retains its original layout although buildings and walls have been rebuilt. Albany Road includes several original pairs of semidetached houses and also the tall stuccoed Nos 13/15 which closes the view east down The Thicket.
13—15 Albany Road.
xi Roads between Victoria Road South and Albany Road
Victoria Road South forms the eastern boundary of the Conservation area and the area (with the eastern side of the road in conservation area 19). Conservation area 2 includes 3 roads (Cavendish, Hereford and Stafford) leading from Victoria Road South to
Albany Road. These date from 18741900 and comprise late Victorian villas and semi-detached houses in a variety of materials, mainly brick or render but including stone and flint. These roads have a distinct building line and there is less tree planting. Most properties have retained boundary walls and gate pillars. There are further edwardian villas in Victoria Road South. South Portsmouth United Reformed Church built in 1911 to the designs of C W Bevis is a prominent townscape feature.
xii Marmion Road
The character of Marmion Road changed markedly in the early 1970’s with the demolition of shops and houses to create the Waitrose supermarket and car park. However it still retains some character as a specialist shopping street and some original shopfronts survive. The road can conveniently be divided into three:-
(a) the Western section – which mainly comprises a terrace of three storey, stucco shops on the north side and two storey shops on the south. It curves gradually towards Grove Road South, and with changing views to the west of St Jude’s Church, the trees in the church grounds and the former Vicarage.
(b) The Central section, which is dominated by a late 19th century four-storey development of flats and shops. On the south side adjacent to the Waitrose supermarket, is The Friary which is a mid Victorian apartment development by Owen.
(c) The Eastern section of the road comprises a mixture of walled
12
Victorian villas and a group of shops near the junction with Victoria Road South. It includes on the corner of Victoria Road South behind Nos 87/89 an early 19th Century farm building which is one of the earliest buildings in this part of Southsea.
Behind Marmion Road is Wilton Place a much altered two storey terrace.
xiii St Jude’s Church
St. Jude’s Church from Kent Road.
St Jude’s Church was built by Thomas Owen as a focal point for his Southsea developments. Its location at the junction of Kent Road/Palmerston Road and Grove Road South makes it widely visible and it dominates the north end of the Palmerston Road pedestrian
precinct. It closes the view round the curving western section of Marmion Road and the spire is seen in views southward, views down Grove Road South and in views eastwards down Kent Road. Although it is the only church on Portsea Island with a spire it is worth noting that in some views the whole bulk of the church plays an important part in the landscape. For example, from Sussex Terrace, the body of the church forms a backcloth to the landscaped grounds of Branksmere and the slate roof and nave, together with the spire, dominate views south along Queens Grove.
The church is visible from a number of points within this Conservation area for example down Merton Road and also more widely in views across Southsea.
St Jude’s Church also originally served as an aid to navigation being the basis of two transits, one with Southsea Castle lighthouse marking the main shipping channel into Portsmouth and one with the Royal Naval War Memorial (replacing an earlier mark) for the swashway. This second transit is now obscured by Homeheights House.

5:0 LAND USES
i Residential
The predominant land is still residential either as single family dwelling or as flats although some properties have been converted to hotel or guest houses. More recently there has been a growth in rest/retirement/nursing homes accommodation.
ii Motor Trade
Many early garages were located in Southsea but practically all have now relocated or gone out of business. Only one small car repair garage remains in operation in Auckland Road East.
iii Education
There are two substantial school uses within the area:
(a) Portsmouth High School for Girls which occupies two sites in Kent Road.
(b) St John’s College which occupies a large site to the east of Grove Road South.
These two schools are the biggest individual landowners in this area.
iv Offices
Various office uses have been introduced into the area mainly in Kent Road and Grove Road South. Some have helped provide new uses for large buildings such as the former use of ‘Branksmere’ and Portland Terrace, for office uses.
Elsewhere the requirement for office space, particularly in the 1970’s led to redevelopment pressure. One particular example, No 1 Merton Road, saw the loss of an Owen Villa. The replacement was an unsympathetic extension to an office building which has now itself been replaced by housing..
v Shopping
Parts of the Southsea shopping centre, including parts of Marmion Road and Osborne Road, are included in the Conservation area. In most cases the original c19 shops survive – albeit often with newer shop fronts. The Conservation area surrounds but does not include the Palmerston Road shopping centre and is fringed by the Elm Grove/Kings Road shopping centre to the north.
14
6:0 THE PROBLEMS
A variety of factors have combined to erode the special character of this Conservation area, ranging from major to very minor changes. However the effect has been cumulative leading to a gradual (though occasionally more rapid) decline in the area’s distinctive character due to the loss of original buildings, boundary walls, trees, shrubs and gardens (for parking or development) and the use of uns ympa the t i c ma te r ia l s a nd alterations to buildings.
These are:
(a) Redevelopment
(b) Change of Uses - Residential to Commercial or single family dwelling to multiple occupation.
(c) Road Widening Lines- (Particularly in Grove Road South and Kent Road). Although now abandoned, led to fundamental changes on an unsympathetic scale).
(d) Pressure for Car Parking
(e) Unsympathetic Alterations and Materials
(f) Loss of Trees and Shrubs
There is clearly a need for guidelines to reverse this process of attrition and to substitute a general trend to enhancement and improvement.
Though much of the character of Owen’s Southsea could undoubtedly survive many more years without further initiatives, it is likely that this would result in the area being reduced to a number of “set pieces” such as Portland Terrace, Sussex Terrace, etc. Notwithstanding the individual merit of such buildings, the importance of this area rests on its relative completeness as a Victorian suburb, designed to provide the attractive environment which characterises this part of Southsea.
To safeguard this completeness, the more “marginal” part of the area, in particular, must now have the benefit of careful control and enhancement.
15
7:0 GUIDELINES
The overall aim is to preserve and where appropriate enhance the conservation area.
This section sets out reasons why individual elements are considered important and presents a general statement of guidelines in respect of each item.
(1) Buildings (a) Wall Finishes/Cladding (b) Doors (c) Windows (d) Roofs (e) Chimneys (f) Details and Ornaments (g) Dormers (h) Roof Extensions (i) Extensions (j) Shopfronts/signs
(2) Boundary Walls
(3) Trees, Shrubs and Other Planting
(4) Road Layout and Street Pattern
(5) Road Surfaces and Pavements
(6) Street Furniture
(7) Overhead Wires and Statutory Undertakers Plant
(8) Enhancement Proposals
(9) Redevelopment
(10) Detailed Guidance
(1) BUILDINGS
(a) WALL FINISHES/CLAD-DING
The majority of properties have
either brick faced or rendered finish. However a variety of other claddings exist which include diapered multi-colour brickwork and half timbering. A small number of properties are faced in flint, terracotta and stone and some have original slate hung rear extensions (eg Netley Terrace).
A number of buildings are painted, this does not require planning permission unless the building is listed. It is visually preferable that terraces such as Sussex Terrace should not be painted in more than one colour.
Guidelines
(i) The City Council will encourage the retention and conservation of existing and original w a l l f i n i s h e s a s appropriate and it will actively discourage the i n t r o d u c t i o n o f materials such as i m i t a t i o n s t o n e c ladding, textured rendered finishes and p l a s t i c w e a t h e r boarding which are inappropriate to the particular property or to the character of the area.
(ii) The City Council will discourage the painting of surfaces such as stone and brickwork, where this was not originally intended, and where already painted will encourage the
16
painting of terraced properties in a uniform manner.
(b) DOORS
The great majority of doors on the older buildings in this conservation area are of wood. There is a wide range of door pattern some of which are partly glazed. Most wooden doors are panelled with a variety of detailing including rounded and Gothic heads. A number of properties have outer porch doors (eg Kersey House).
Since there is a wide variety of door type, the aim should be to match, wherever possible, the existing pattern for the particular terrace, group or property rather than to use or establish a ‘standard’ pattern.
Door, Queens Crescent.
A major threat to the area’s character is the substitution for the original doors, types of modern standardised wood
doors such as those with an integral fanlight, and those constructed of UPVC or metal.
Guidelines
(i) The City Council will e n c o u r a g e t h e retention/reinstatement o f o r i g i n a l o r sympathetic external front doors and will discourage the use of doors of inappropriate size, design or material.
(ii) The City Council will discourage the use of U P VC, a l umin iu m , stained wood and other inappropriate materials or finishes.
(c) WINDOWS
Most of the original Owen houses have recessed vertical sliding sash windows although there are some examples of casement windows (Swiss Cottage).
The introduction of modern materials or finishes such as UPVC, aluminium and stained rather than painted wood has had an adverse affect on the appearance of the area and this has been made worse by the fact that these new materials frequently have different profiles etc.
A number of villas and terraces have dormer windows, some of which are original. The use of a style historically appropriate to a particular property is desirable.
Round headed sash window and decorative balcony ironwork.
17
Guidelines
(i) The City Council will encourage the retention of existing traditional window types, details and materials.
(ii) The City Council will encourage the repair of e x i s t i n g w i n d o w s wherever possible and, where this is not p o s s i b l e t h e i r r e p l a c e m e n t b y matching windows.
(iii) The City Council will discourage the use of UPVC, aluminium and other inappropriate materials or finishes within the area.
(d) ROOFS
The predominant traditional material in this area is slate. However, plain tiles were used on some later buildings (No 35 Grove Road South and 8-12 Victoria Road South.) Modern concrete interlocking tiles
usual ly detract from the appearance of old buildings and will be discouraged, they can also add weight to a roof structure which if not properly strengthened could lead to structural problems throughout the property. Roof details such as ridge slates/tiles, finials, decorative shaped slates or tiles and patterns are also important and should be retained where ever possible and salvaged and reused where the roof has to be replaced.
Guildelines
(i) The City Council will encourage the retention and use of traditional roofing materials (such as slate).
(ii) The City Council will discourage the use of unsympathetic modern roofing materials such a s i n t e r l o c k i n g concrete tiles.
(iii) Roof details such as ridge tiles and slates and decorative roofing d e t a i l s h ou l d b e retained and reused.
(e) CHIMNEY STACKS AND POTS
The majority of stacks are simple brick or stucco, however there are a variety of more elaborate stacks such as those on Tudor Court, Swiss Cottage and the High School (main building). Chimney stacks are notable features on many of the area’s buildings and the large
18
stacks on Portland Terrace for example give a strong vertical emphasis to the rear elevation. There is a mixture of simple red and yellow chimney pots and a few examples of ‘Fareham’ pots.
Guidelines
(i) The City Council will encourage the retention of chimney stacks and pots.
(f) D E T A I L S A N D ORNAMENT
The houses and terraces of this area include a wide range of varied architectural detail. This adds significantly to the varied character of the area and it is important that these details are preserved.
Decorative chimneys, dutch gables and diaper pattern brickwork.
No 3 Ormsby Road for example is battlemented whilst properties in
nearby Merton Road have ‘Dutch gables’. No 29 Kent Road a corner property with pilasters. Some properties have dentil courses (Clifton and Netley Terraces) whilst decorative barge boards can be found on others (2 Nelson Road or Flint Lodge).
Painted house name.
Several properties have cast iron balcony railings such as Portland Terrace and Sussex Terrace. Freestone Road and Netley Terrace have decorative wooden verandahs. Other features include house names painted on to gate pillars.
Iron balcony railings, Clifton Terrace.
Guidelines
(i) The City Council will encourage the retention and reinstatement of original detail.
19
(ii) The removal of any original features or interesting original d e t a i l s w i l l b e discouraged.
(g) D O R M E R S A N D ROOFLIGHTS
Existing dormers can be found on a number of properties in the area notably Netley Terrace and semi-detached properties in Albany Road. New dormers on front roof and other slopes which are visible from the public highway will normally be discouraged.
Where there is an existing precedent for dormer windows they should match existing historic dormer windows in design, materials, bulk and size.
Rooflights should match the traditional black metal Victorian style lights in all respects and particularly in scale.
Guidelines
(i) Dormer windows will g e n e r a l l y b e discouraged on front, s i d e o r o t h e r e l e va t i o n s , w h i c h currently do not have them, where these are visible from public highway. On those p r o p e r t i e s w h i c h already have dormer windows the use of historically appropriate or other agreed pattern will be encouraged.
(ii) Where rooflights are proposed the use of
traditional style black metal replica cast iron Victorian Style lights will be encouraged and if possible these should be located on rear roof slopes.
(h) ROOF EXTENSIONS
Roof extensions often lead to the loss of existing historic fabric such as pitched slate roofs and chimneys. They can also lead to an unacceptable increase in the bulk of properties and consequently they will be discouraged on front elevations and other prominent locations. Mansard roofs are not traditional in this area and will be discouraged.
Guidelines
(i) Roof extensions will be discouraged where they would have an adverse visual effect on the existing building or townscape or where they would lead to the loss of original historic roofs or their features.
(ii) Where roof extensions are permitted they should match existing properties in respect of design, materials, bulk or size.
(i) EXTENSIONS
Extensions on elevations fronting the highway normally require planning permission and will g e n e r a l l y b e discouraged part icu lar ly in respect of the older buildings in
20
the area.
Extensions on side and rear elevations will be discouraged where they would have:
(i) an adverse visual effect on the existing building and townscape;
(ii) lead to loss of original or historic features.
Where extensions are permitted they should not overpower the original building in terms of design and materials. In addition the size of the extension should not overpower the original building.
Guidelines
(i) Extensions will be discouraged where they would have an adverse visual effect on the existing building or townscape or where they would lead to the loss of original historic features.
(ii) Where extensions are permitted they should m a t c h e x i s t i n g properties in respect of design and materials, bulk or size and they should not overpower the original building.
(j) SHOPFRONTS
This conservation area includes shops in parts of Marmion Road, Osborne Road, Grove Road South and Palmerston Road which form part of Southsea shopping centre.
These roads still i nc lude a number of original or interesting shopfronts. There are a l s o in te res t ing upper f loors including the early c19 houses behind 87/89 Marmion Road, the curved terrace at the opposite end of Marmion Road and terraces in Osborne Road.
Victoriana — 89 Marmion Road with stained glass and tiled
entrance.
There have been a variety of changes in the area in recent years including changes in use of shops with more restaurant and take away food shops. This has been reflected in a variety of visual changes including new shopfronts and a proliferation of large internally illuminated signs.
Supp lementa ry P lann ing Guidance No 6 entitled – Southsea Shopping Centre: Guidelines for the Improvement of Buildings was approved by the City Council in June 1998 to encourage improvements to shopfronts in this area.
21
The document includes guidance on shopfronts, upper floors, signs, canopies and shutters.
The conservation area boundary was extended in 1999 to include properties at the east and west ends of Osborne Road.
T h e S o u t h s e a H e r i t a g e Economic Regeneration Scheme provided grant assistance for repairs to shops
(2) BOUNDARY WALLS AND GATE PILLARS
‘Owen’s Southsea’ features a wide variety of walls and gate pillars. They include panelled/ battered/plain walling with caps, and walls with patterned top sections. In addition there are a number of sections of low walls, topped with fences or hedges. Materials vary, including plain and coloured brickwork and rendered walls and some of stone and flint examples. There is much variation in the height of walls.
Boundary Wall, Albany Road.
The variety of boundary treatment is a feature of the area, but there has been some
erosion of this diversity in recent years (such as the loss of the battered wall on the Kent Road frontage of Branksmere a few years ago).
Wall with batter, Kent Road.
Walls built with low cost brickwork, coloured concrete blocks and other textured finishes are unsympathetic to the character of the area and will be discouraged. It is considered important to retain the var iety of boundary treatment and not to try to impose a standard type.
Many ent rances in th is conse r va t ion a r ea h a ve attractive original gate pillars and it is important that these are retained together with their gates. Where openings are n e c e s s a r y i n w a l l t h e introductions of gate pillars and close boarded gates with minimum width of opening is desirable as this minimises the visual intrusion caused by an open entrance.
22
Corner pier, wall and ceramic street name.
Guidelines
(i) The City Council will encourage the retention of existing boundary walls, gate pillars and gates and other means of enclosure and will e n c o u r a g e t h e i r r e s t o r a t i o n a n d reinstatement to match the original style for that property.
(ii) The City Council will d i s c o u r a g e t h e removal/demolition/or u n s y m p a t h e t i c alteration of existing walls and other means of enclosure which are of architectural or townscape value.
(3) TREES, SHRUBS AND OTHER PLANTS
Trees and shrubs are extremely important to the character of the
area and the area has been substantially planted since it was originally developed.
Many trees have been lost over the years due to redevelopment and disease and the City has promoted numerous Tree Preservation Orders in the area, in addition to the protection given under conservation area legislation.
There is a need for continuing management of the area's trees both to conserve the existing stock ensuring appropriate replacement when necessary and with new planting to help maintain the character of the area.
Where trees and other planting contribute to the character of the area, it must be stressed that open garden land also makes a s i g n i f i c a n t c o n t r i b u t i o n . Gardens of adjacent properties were often used by Owen to provide a landscaped setting and outlook, good examples of this are the view from Sussex Terrace across the gardens of A n n e s l e y H o u s e a n d Branksmere and the view from Portland Terrace over the grounds of Dovercourt.
Guidelines
(i) The City Council will discourage the loss of further trees in this area and will promote further T ree P reserva t ion Orders as necessary.
(ii) The City will continue to encourage the good management of trees in
23
this area and will (5) R O A D S U R F A C E S , encourage new and P AV E M E N T S A N D replacement planting of appropriate species to help maintain and enhance the character of the area.
(iii) The City will discourage the loss of existing areas of open land (such as gardens) particularly to the front or side of properties.
(4) ROAD LAYOUT
The detailed layout of the roads in this area including variations in width and the use of curves is a basic element of the area’s character and contributes greatly to its variety and interest. If the character of the area is to be conserved then it is important to retain this layout in detail and to ensure that it is not lost due to r o a d w i d e n i n g o r redevelopment . Fur ther redevelopment may offer the chance to recover the earlier road layout.
The retention of curving private driveways and footpaths is also important.
Guidelines
The City Counci l w i l l endeavour to retain the existing road lay o u t o f this Conservation A r e a i n order to preserve its visual character.
PRIVATE DRIVEWAYS
The City has a long standing policy of higher quality paving in conservation areas and some areas of historic surfaces or details survive (The Vale) including some pavement crossings. In addition various historic cast iron features survive such as coalhole covers, channels, buchan traps etc and since these add to the character of the area they should be retained wherever possible.
Private drives and forecourts are also a significant characteristic of the area and their retention is important. The choice of appropr ia te mater ia ls i s important and crucial, for example, the replacement of a gravel drive by brick paviors markedly alters the character of the area by changing both colours and textures.
In 2001 the City Council a p p r o v e d a g u i d a n c e document:- Roads and Street Furniture in Historic Areas. This relates to roads, paving, street lighting, street furniture and other related matters in conservation areas together with other areas of historic interest.
Guidelines
(i) The existing policy of higher quality surfacing and paving be continued with particular attention to detailing including laying of paving to the traditional staggered bonding.
24
(ii) In resurfacing/repaving roads particular attention be given to retaining
existing features and details including coalhole covers etc.
(7)
(iii) The City will encourage the retention of existing pr ivate driveways, footpaths and forecourts and the retention of original or visually suitable materials.
(6) STREET FURNITURE
Street furniture such as street lighting; names etc can add to or detract from the visual character. Some historic features such as ceramic street names and historic lighting survive, but in places there is sometimes a profusion of signs and posts making a careful re-examination of their function and rationalisation desirable.
Roads and Street Furniture in Historic Areas relates to street lighting, street furniture and other related matters.
Guidelines
(i) The City Council will encourage the retention of historic street furniture where this survives.
(ii) The City Council will reinstate/restore street furniture such as lamp columns and ceramic street names where appropriate.
(8)
(iii) The City Council will encourage the removal of u n s i g h t l y a n d
u n n e c e s s a r y s t r e e t furniture where possible.
OVERHEAD WIRES AND PUBLIC UTILITIES PLANT
Overhead wires and associated poles are more prominent in some parts of this Conservation area than others, in part at least because the extensive tree cover sometimes serves to camouflage t h e i r e x i s t e n c e . T h e undergrounding of services will be encouraged wherever possible particularly where overhead wires are intrusive.
Other statutory undertakers plant, such as junction boxes, can be visually obtrusive. Their location within the conservation area is undesirable and attempts will be made to ameliorate their effect by appropriate colour schemes.
Guidelines
(i) The City Council will encourage the location u n d e r g r o u n d o f overhead wires where possible.
(ii) The City Council will particularly discourage the location of other above ground plant or o therw ise seek to minimise its impact.
