ENN109249 - Harlestone Stables, 2014 (DBA)

{1} Harlestone Stable block is an early 19th-century Grade II* listed building by Humphrey and John Adey Repton, formerly associated with Harlestone House which was demolished in 1940. The current owner of the stables wishes to construct an outbuilding in scrubland to the west, which was formerly part of the kitchen gardens to Harlestone House. The stables lie adjacent to the club-house and car-park of Northampton Golf Club. The associated golf-course surrounds the stables on three sides. The modern club-house lies approximately where Harlestone House formerly stood. The site is largely screened from public view by high brick boundary walls. It is considered that there will be a negligible/very minor impact to the setting of the stables. It is considered that while there is a moderate potential for below-ground archaeology that could potentially date from the prehistoric to post-medieval periods, the later post-medieval and modern uses of the site as kitchen gardens are likely to have limited survival of all but the most deeply buried archaeological deposits.
