INTRODUCTION
2.
PLANNING POLICY CONTEXT
1.1
A Conservation Area is ‘an area of special
architectural or historic interest, the
character and appearance of which it is
desirable to preserve or enhance’ (Planning
(Listed Buildings & Conservation Areas) Act,
1990).
2.1
1.2
Since the designation of the first
conservation areas in 1970, Bristol City
Council has undertaken a comprehensive
programme of conservation area
designation, extension and policy
development. There are now 33
conservation areas in Bristol, covering
approximately 30% of the city.
All conservation areas are the subject of
policies in the Bristol Local Plan (adopted
December 1997) and the proposed
Alterations to the Bristol Local Plan
(deposited February 2003). Once adopted,
policies in the emerging Core Strategy, and
any future Development Plan Documents,
will replace those in the Local Plan.
2.2
The Core Strategy is a key document in the
emerging Bristol Development Framework.
Once adopted the Core Strategy will become
the key overarching policy document within
the Bristol Development Framework. The
next stage in the preparation of the Core
Strategy will be the Submission Document,
which will set out a Spatial Vision for the
City, Strategic Objectives, a Spatial Strategy,
Core Policies and a Monitoring and
Implementation Framework. It will include a
core policy on Conservation Areas and the
Historic Environment.
2.3
Each Conservation Area Character Appraisal
will be subject to extensive public
consultation and once adopted will be a tool
for development control officers, developers,
residents and others to preserve or enhance
the character and appearance of the area.
Each adopted Character Appraisal will
replace the relevant Conservation Area
Enhancement Statement for that area.
2.4
Montpelier was designated as a
Conservation Area on 15th March 1978 and
extended on 5th July 1978, 18th February
1981and in 2002. As part of this appraisal,
the boundaries have been extended to
include Magdalene Place and Station Road.
The Montpelier Conservation Area Character
Appraisal was adopted by the Executive for
Access and the Environment on XXXX.
1.3
Bristol City Council has a statutory duty to
undertake a review of the character and
boundaries of each conservation area. This
process was first undertaken with the Policy
Advice Note 2: Conservation Area
Enhancement Statements (November 1993).
1.4
More recent national guidance, set out in
Planning Policy Guidance Note 15: Planning
and the Historic Environment (1994) and
English Heritage’s Guidance on Conservation
Area Appraisals (2006), requires detailed
appraisals of each conservation area in the
form of formally approved and published
documents.
1.5
The City Council is now underway with a
comprehensive programme of producing a
Character Appraisal for each conservation
area. The enhanced appraisal process
involves the review of boundaries, details of
historical development, identification of
townscape details, and unlisted buildings
that make a positive contribution to the
conservation area. It also identifies elements
that threaten to undermine an area’s special
interest.

LOCATION & SETTING
3.1
Montpelier is located to the northwest of
Bristol's City Centre, just north of the St
Paul’s district of the city and northeast of
Stokes Croft. The Conservation Area sits on
the hill slope that rises at the point where
the flatter ground of the central area meets
the southeast-facing escarpment up to the
heights of what is now St Andrews. The
southern portion of the Conservation Area
occupies flatter ground, which rises gently to
the line of Ashley Road. This lower land
forms the valley either side of the former
course of the Cutlers Mill Brook.
3.2
The perimeter boundaries of the
Conservation Area are clearly formed by
three principle routes: Cheltenham Road to
the west, Ashley Road to the south and
Sussex Place/Ashley Hill to the east. The
northern boundary is defined by the swathe
cut by the railway line. The eastern
boundary extends a little further to include
the east side of Sussex Place, the Ivy Church,
Magdalene Place, and the villas to the east
of Ashley Hill.
3.3
The Cotham, Redland & Gloucester Road
Conservation Area is located immediately
west, abutting Montpelier along the line of
the Cheltenham Road. The Stokes Croft
Conservation Area extends to the southwest.
The Montpelier Conservation Area in context
of surrounding areas is shown on Map 2

SUMMARY OF CHARACTER & SPECIAL
INTEREST
4.3
The character of the area is strongly dictated
by the phases and pattern of development.
The area has high quality built fabric, with a
number of Grade II listed buildings. The
pattern of development means that the
garden plots, even of the later houses, are in
general larger than in most other parts of
the city and there are many mature trees.
They form an essential part of the character
of the area, again giving a continuing sense
of the original development in open fields.
4.4
Montpelier has long enjoyed the reputation
as a “bohemian quarter” in the city of Bristol
and there is as much diversity in the area’s
inhabitants as in the built fabric. The area is
attractive due to its strong sense of
community owing to the variety of
amenities and volume of foot traffic. A
further attraction of the area is the number
of historic properties that remain as singlefamily dwellings.
Main Issues affecting the Conservation Area
Development & Alterations
• Unsympathetic and over intensive infill
developments
• Loss of shopfronts as local business uses
are changed to residential
• Unsympathetic alterations & loss of
traditional architectural details
• Sub-division of properties into flats
increasing pressures for on-street parking
Public Realm
• Volume of on-street parking
• Loss of traditional street surfaces
• Loss of traditional street furniture
• Litter, graffiti
Beyond the Conservation Area
•
Threat to key views and vistas from new
developments outside the Conservation Area
4.1
The Montpelier Conservation Area can be
characterised by its charming ‘village’ like
atmosphere, high quality domestically scaled
Georgian and Victorian properties, and its
unique aspect out across the City. Buildings
are densely packed but follow the hill
contours rather than a traditional grid.
Coupled with the diversity of buildings, this
creates the sense of an informal intimate
suburb.
4.2
The principal streets in the area run
approximately SW to NE, with occasional
linking streets at right angles to this. This
pattern is driven by the topography as the
streets on the upper slope rise along the
length of the steep hillsides. The roads are
in general not laid out in straight lines,
which reflects the piecemeal pattern of
development.

HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT &
ARCHAEOLOGY
that has survived, at the time it was built in
the 17th century the Cottage would have
been an isolated farmhouse.
(taken from Montpelier: A Bristol Suburb
Mary Wright, 2004)
5.1
Most of the Montpelier Conservation Area
was originally part of a large estate called
Ashley, in the county of Gloucester, which
also included the land on which St Andrew’s,
Ashley Down and most of St Werburgh’s
now stand. The land was owned by Robert
Earl of Gloucester from the early 12th
century, his son William granted the lands at
Ashley to the monks of St James Priory later
that century, who held it until the
Reformation in 1540.
5.2
Ashley is likely to have been entirely rural, an
expanse of open and enclosed fields that
were given over to arable crops, all farmed
by tenants, with the only houses listed as
‘tenements’. A deed of 1579 describes the
area as one of fertile land well wooded and
rural gardens and orchards, with just a
scattering of farmhouses. This situation of
an unspoilt 16th century rural landscape in
Montpelier remained unchanged until at
least the end of the 18th century.
5.3
5.4
Two early watermills had existed in Ashley
since at least the 16th century, later in the
17th century, another two were built on the
west side of Ashley Hill; all fed by tributary
streams of the River Frome. Cutler’s Mill
stood on the land between Station Road and
Cheltenham Lane, and Terrett’s Mill was
sited close to the present Montpelier Health
Centre. The water serving these Mills, called
Cutler’s Mill Brook, turned eastwards at the
foot of Picton Street to run through
meadows (now Shaftsbury Avenue) and
eventually joined the Frome at Baptist Mills.
Montpelier Farm, headquarters of Fairfax
and Cromwell during the Second Siege of
Bristol in 1645, stood on Cutler’s Mill land at
the top of the present Cromwell Road. Other
properties were scattered, proof of the
earliest houses is in a plan of the Ashley
Estate drawn in 1731. Ashley Cottage at no.
77 Ashley Road, is the only house on the plan
Figure 1: Plan of the Ashley lands in 1731
5.5
A large Tudor manor, Ashley Manor House
lay at the foot of Ashley Hill, which was later
leased to the Magdalene Charity ‘for deluded
common women who wish to reform’. A
chapel, now the much altered Ivy Church
was built for them and consecrated in 1792.
5.6
Various other substantial houses existed in
Ashley, mainly sited on Ashley Hill, most of
these have been lost. Ashley Hill House
dates from the mid 18th century and still
stands, although much altered, on Old
Ashley Hill.
5.7
In the mid 18th century Montpelier began to
emerge as a place with its own identity.
Thomas Rennison helped establish
Montpelier as a fashionable place of
pleasure, recreation and entertainment
when he opened a large swimming baths at
Terrett’s Mills. Rennison’s baths helped give
18th century Montpelier its distinctive
character and lasting reputation. The baths
were closed in 1916 and the land used as a
builder’s yard until the Montpelier Health
Centre was built on the site.
5
5.8
Most planned house building was
speculative during the 18th century and
Montpelier offered the advantages of rural
living only a short distance from the city
centre. In 1786 the lane that is now Ashley
Road was turnpiked, stimulating the building
of quality houses along this route. Nos. 85 –
91 Ashley Road was by William Paty.
Figure 2: View south from road to Stapleton, by T L S
Rowbotham
5.8
Plumley & Ashmead’s 1828 shows how land
in Montpelier was purchased by local smallscale developers who bought individual plots
sufficient for, at most, a short terrace.
Building in Upper Montpelier followed the
existing narrow tracks that ran parallel up
the slopes to the ridge at Ashley Hill. This
set the pattern for future development so
that it is still possible to trace the early field
system and the routes up the hillside.
5.9
New houses, which were mainly detached,
were well spaced and designed to face south
overlooking their large gardens. The northfacing rear walls which were visible from the
street were, in some cases, almost
completely blank. Most of the houses of this
period have survived.
5.10 Picton Street follows the line of a field track
that ran from Apesherd Field to Rennison’s
Bath. Building work started in 1816 and was
largely completed by 1824 and was planned
as a shopping street to serve the local
community. The street housed mainly the
shopkeepers who traded there, but also
Figure 3: Plumley & Ashmead Plan, 1828

MONTPELIER
clerical or skilled manual workers who lived
in the private terraced houses. On the corner
next to Picton Lodge is a ‘Charley Box’ built
in c. 1830 to imprison law breakers
overnight.
5.11 Street and house names in Montpelier
reflect the post Waterloo patriotism, when in
1815 the Duke of Wellington became a
national hero and in 1816 he came to Bristol
to receive the freedom of the city. General
Picton, who died at Waterloo, has a portrait
above no. 6 Picton Street, the former General
Picton Public House.
5.17 St Andrew’s Church was an important
addition in 1844 and the large Vicarage of
1862 adjacent. The Church was demolished
in 1969 and Montpelier Park situated on the
former church site. The Park’s boundary
walls are the former church walls and other
features within the landscape, such as the
mature Yew trees, are reminders of the
former building.
5.12 Building on Upper and Lower Cheltenham
Place started as a speculative development
in 1830; by 1834 there were 20 houses in
Lower Cheltenham Place.
5.13 Ashley Hill remained as farm lands of the
Ashley Estate until 1825, when a local
businessman saw potential to create a
pleasant residential area in what was then a
remote rural spot. Large detached villas in
substantial grounds were built between
1828 and 1835. This became a desirable
location, which attracted wealthy local
businessmen.
5.14 Montpelier began to attract artists during
the 1820s and 30s and in 1835 the area was
incorporated within the Bristol City
boundaries. By the end of the Georgian
period Montpelier was a place in its own
right. Residents of the villas on the southern
slopes would have enjoyed their semi-rural
surroundings and nearly all the houses had
large gardens.
5.15 The old field tracks up the hill were improved
though their line remained unchanged; new
road layouts only occurred on the fringes of
the area.
5.16 Development in Montpelier during the early
Victorian period was relatively slow, the only
significant additions being the row of houses
on the nursery land in Bath Buildings and
two terraces, one in Richmond Road and the
other in lower York Road.
Figure 4: St Andrew’s Church (now demolished)
5.18 The 1860s and 70s witnessed huge growth
in population in Bristol and its suburbs; this
surge in population transformed Montpelier
from its semi-rural condition to a densely
developed part of the inner city.
5.19 Some of the new houses were infill between
the Georgian villas and terraces, others were
built on meadows and gardens. Montpelier
Railway Station opened in 1874 prompting
the construction of the Montpelier Hotel in
St Andrews Road to serve railway
passengers. Significantly, large areas of
previously undeveloped land on the lower
slopes and above Ashley Road were built
upon.
5.20 Albert Park, Albert Park Place, Chancery (now
Brook) Road, Albany Road and East and West
Grove were all developed in the 1860s.
Banner Road and Norrisville Road in the
1870s and Shaftesbury Avenue and the
streets around Fairfield School in the 1880s.
7
742 houses were erected in the suburb
between 1860 and 1900.
Sussex Place, Richmond Road and St
Andrews Road. Colston’s Girls’ School
opened in 1891 and Fairfield School in 1898.
5.22 The intensive development of Montpelier in
the late 19th century left little scope for
significant physical changes in the
townscape during the 20th century. During
World War II Montpelier escaped the 1940
bombing raid that devastated much of St
Paul’s and Stokes Croft nearby. In the 1941
raid, buildings were hit around Cheltenham
Road, Ashley Road, Wellington Avenue, York,
Richmond and Fairlawn Roads. A small Air
Raid Warden sign is sited outside no. 13
Wellington Avenue.
Figure 5: Shaftesbury Avenue c. 1900
5.21 Houses built in the late Victorian period
were intended for the lower middle classes.
More shops were needed to serve the
growing population and the shops at the
corner of Ashley Road and Cheltenham Road
were completed by 1870. Most streets had
corner shops and rows of shops were built in
5.22 A post-War development plan deemed
Montpelier to be a place with a high
population density and negligible private or
public open space. In the mid 1960s a major
road intersection was proposed, which
would have cut through the area. The plans
were scrapped but during the long period of
uncertainty, property values had plummeted,
houses had been neglected, some
abandoned then squatted and vandalized.

5.23 Montpelier was designated as a conservation
area in 1978.
The approximate building ages in the
Conservation Area are shown on Map 3.
The city council will seek to maintain and
strengthen the traditional form of individual
streets and ensure that new development is
in keeping with its surroundings both in
character and appearance.
There will be a presumption in favour of
preserving any archaeological features or
sites of national importance, whether
scheduled or not. Policy B22 (I – II) should be
consulted.

SPATIAL ANALYSIS
6.1 Streets & Spaces
6.1.1 The historic street layout and the
relationship of built form to open space
define the framework of an area. The
traditional pattern of development, building
lines and plot sizes should be respected and
used to dictate the scale and level of
enclosure or openness appropriate to the
Conservation Area.
6.1.2 Montpelier’s layout is unique as the central
streets follow old field tracks and their line is
dictated by the natural topography of the
land. Because of this streets climb steeply
and separate, some are narrow and others
bend in response to the course of the historic
brooks that shaped the area.
green spaces and private gardens. Lush
gardens set back from the road or behind
boundary walls are therefore fundamental
spaces in defining the character of the upper
slopes.
6.1.6 The only two areas of public open spaces
(Montpelier Park & Albany Green) are
cleared sites which had previously been built
upon.
The routes and spaces in the Montpelier
Conservation Area are shown on Map 4.
Dominant street pattern and the character
of spaces should be respected. Where
historic patterns remain, these should be
protected and reflected in proposed
schemes. Policies B15 (I – III) should be
consulted.
6.1.3 Primary routes are limited to the east, south
and western fringes. This creates an ‘island’
in the centre, where traffic can permeate but
tends to do so only for access. The creation
of the “road blocks” on Richmond Road and
Bath Buildings in the early 1990s was a
major factor in removing through-traffic.
The central streets, all secondary, lined with
parked cars become a shared space with the
large number of pedestrians in the area.
More intimate routes exist in the old service
streets and mews areas or pedestrian
footpaths from the north.
6.1.4 The oldest houses in the area are set in
substantial plots, behind high boundary
walls, with long gardens extending
southwards. The first speculative
developments, to the south and east, either
short terraces or semi-detached villas, are
also set behind high boundaries and long
front gardens. Larger-scale developments
and later infill have tended to address the
street more directly and contribute to the
strong building lines found in Picton Street
and the streets north of Ashley Road.
6.1.5 Vital alleviation from an otherwise built up
environment is provided by glimpses into

MONTPELIER
6.2 VIEWS
6.2.1 The topography of the City is unique and
views across it make an important
contribution to Bristol’s townscape and
character. The spectacular city-wide views
enjoyed from Montpelier are fundamental to
its special interest.
city. There are extensive views southwards
enjoyed by the private dwellings in
Richmond Road, York Road, Upper
Cheltenham Place, Cobourg Road and
Fairfield Road.
6.2.2 Views are also key to the character of the
area and long-distance views extend from
Dundry in the west to Purdown in the northeast, and as far as Kelston. More locally
there are important views of the gardens,
townscape and roofscapes within the
Conservation Area.
6.2.3 Along the axes of the principal streets there
are views of the houses in Cotham, rising up
the hillside to the west, and to the east there
are views into Purdown.
Figure 9: Vista extending SE between properties on Cobourg
Road
6.2.5 There are more local views looking
northwards from the streets in the southern
portion of the Conservation Area to the
houses and gardens on the hillside. The
distinctive roofscape of Fairfield School
easily identifies Montpelier in these views of
the hillside. Roofscapes play an important
part in characterising local views in
Montpelier.
Figure 8: Long view west towards St Michael’s Hill and the
University Physics Tower
6.2.4 The views to the south tend to be enjoyed
from the houses and gardens on the south
side of the streets on the upper slopes, but
gaps between buildings provide glimpses to
these long views that extend out across the
Figure 10: Local view looking north from Brook Street to York
Road/Cobourg Road hillside

6.2.6 The preservation of these views is vital in
protecting the area’s character and special
interest. For the purpose of Character
Appraisals, three types of views have been
identified:
Vistas
– are long-distance views across the City, to
key features or landmark buildings and
beyond. Views into the Conservation Area
fall within this category.
Local Views
- these tend to be shorter and confined to a
specific locality such as a Conservation Area.
They include views to skylines, local
landmarks, attractive groups of buildings,
views into parks, open spaces, streets and
squares.
Glimpses
– allow intriguing glances to intimate routes
or spaces, they make an important
contribution to local character.
Views in the Conservation Area are
identified on Map 5.
6.3 LANDMARK BUILDINGS
6.3.1 Landmark Buildings are those that due to
their height, location or detailed design
stand out from their background. They
contribute to the character and townscape
of the area and provide key focal points in
local views.
6.3.2 The townscape in Montpelier retains a
generally consistent and domestic scale and
there are few buildings that can properly be
regarded as landmarks. Those that have
been identified are either occupy prominent
corner positions or are situated on the main
routes at the boundaries of the area.
Fairfield School is considered a landmark as
its distinctive roofscape is prominent in
views into the Conservation Area.
6.3.3 The following are considered landmark
buildings in the Montpelier Conservation
Area:
• Fairfield School, Fairfield Road
• Crofton House & The Limes (white
buildingson south corner of Bath Buildings
and Cheltenham Road)
• Montpelier Hotel, St Andrews Road
• Former Jenner & Co. Milliners Shop, 163
Ashley Road
• Colston Girls School, Cheltenham Road
• Ivy Pentecostal Church, Ashley Hill
• Ashley Court, Ashley Road

Development should be designed with
regard to the local context. Proposals which
would cause unacceptable harm to the
character and/or appearance of an area, or
to the visual impact of historic buildings,
views or landmarks, will not be permitted.
BLP Policies B2 (I – IV) should be consulted.

CHARACTER ANALYSIS
7.1
Overview
7.1.1 Montpelier is defined by the quality of its
built environment, reflected in the number
of listed buildings in the Conservation Area.
The narrow streets are lined with tightly
packed terraces of fine Georgian and
Victorian townhouses. Groups of buildings
in a similar style combine to create an
informal and picturesque townscape. An
overall harmony is achieved through a
general consistency in scale and materials
and the preservation of traditional
architectural details.
7.1.2 Each street is different, with variations in
architectural style and formality altering the
character between them. Despite the
variations in its townscape, Montpelier
remains unified with a recognisably
charming and intimate character.
7.1.3 Overall, the character of the area is very
much determined by its developmental
history. The upper slopes reflect the original
developments consisting of short terraces
and villas in large gardens, situated to
exploit the long, south-facing views. Ashley
Road reflects how the area became an
attractive prospect for grander houses.
Picton Street reflects an intense surge of
development in the early 19th century. The
southern streets above Ashley Road
demonstrate an intense development
consistent with the growth in Bristol’s
population.
7.1.3 The Conservation Area can be divided into a
number of areas of distinct character, each
reflecting a particular aspect of its
architectural development or topography.
Character Areas are identified on Map 6.

MONTPELIER
CHARACTER AREA 1: CHELTENHAM ROAD
• Timber windows, doors and shopfronts
(some metal casements in mews-type
buildings
7.1.4 Area 1 forms the western boundary of
Montpelier where it abuts the Cotham,
Redland and Gloucester Road Conservation
Area. Consisting of the busy main route of
Cheltenham Road and the pockets of
industrial development and open space
behind it. The busy nature of the route and
the scale and types of buildings are
noticeably different to the rest of the
Conservation Area.
• Clay double roman tiles (occasional natural
slate) roof coverings
Area 1: Dominant Characteristics
Scale
• Two to three storeys plus attic on
traditional terraces
• One or two storeys in mews areas and
larger plots behind Cheltenham Road
• Cheltenham Road buildings generally
address street forming strong building line
• Red brick chimney stacks with clay chimney
pots
7.1.5 From the Ashley Road junction up to Bath
Buildings, there is a commercial nature. The
first properties were contemporary with the
area around Picton Street. These were
originally residential but converted to shops
in the late 19th century, with shopfronts
built out over front gardens. A number of
traditional shop frontages remain in this
stretch (see Townscape Details, Section 7.5).
7.1.6 Further north, there are a mix of building
styles and ages from the Regency villa at no.
174 to the late 19th century Colston Girls
School. Beyond the School is a group of
attractive Victorian shopfronts (see
Townscape Details, Section 7.5).
• Local landmark buildings occupy larger
plots with distinctive roofscape
Proportions & Architectural Treatment
• Vertical emphasis
• Window heights diminish up elevation
• Mansard or pitched roof with single
dormers set behind parapet on main
streets
• Traditional timber shopfronts directly
addressing street
Material Palette
• Stucco render (sometimes painted), red
brick, pennant rubble
• Limestone and red brick dressings
Figure 14: Victorian shopfronts on Cheltenham Road
7.1.7 Cheltenham Lane is one of Montpelier’s few
surviving mews, which retains traditional
Pennant setted street surface and a
collection of coach-house and mews style
buildings.

CHARACTER AREA 2: PICTON STREET
Figure 15: Cheltenham Lane
7.1.7 Set behind Cheltenham Road is Montpelier’s
most industrial area where plots are
discernibly larger. A number of small
industrial buildings still remain, though
some have been recently converted into
residential developments. One of the
Conservation Area’s only two green spaces is
situated to the north of St Andrews Road
and the Health Centre occupies the site of
the former Rennison’s Public Baths.
7.1.8 Station Road was added to the Conservation
Area following the 2008 boundary review.
The route has a mixed industrial character,
with some early 21st century flats along the
northern side. The single-storey, Pennant
stone Montpelier Railway Station, an
Unlisted Building of Merit, is an important
feature in this part of the Conservation Area.
7.1.9 This area is characterised by the small-scale
shopping area of Picton Street and the group
of early 19th century terraces of the Bath
Buildings.
Scale
• Domestically scaled: three storeys, one bay
wide
• Buildings directly address the street
forming a strong building line
• Roof concealed behind continuous parapet
• Stepped roofline rising gently up the hill
• Traditional shopfronts, sash windows and
paneled doors
• Elegant fanlights in various designs
20
MONTPELIER
Material Palette
• Red brick, Flemish bond, on Picton Street
• Painted render on Bath Buildings
• Bath stone window heads and door
surrounds
• Timber windows, doors and shopfronts
• Clay double roman tiles roof coverings
• Red brick chimney stacks with clay chimney
pots
7.1.10 Picton Street has a strong lively, thriving
character as a small-scale shopping street
built as one speculative development.
Buildings are modestly scaled and detailed
forming a continual terrace that lines both
sides of the street. The northeast end of
Picton Street has a strong building line as it
rounds the corner into Bath Buildings.
Figure 18: Strong building line as Picton Street rounds into
Bath Buildings
Figure 17: Picton Street
7.1.11 Not every house has a shop, and many of
the original shops are now residential,
though most traditional shop frontages have
been retained (see Townscape Details,
Section 7.5). This character area gives
Montpelier its ‘bohemian’ atmosphere and a
number of artists, organic and alternative
shops are located here.
7.1.12 Three buildings stand out as unique: Picton
Lodge a double-fronted villa with fine bow
windows, at an angle to the street, on the
course of the old Cutler’s Mill Brook. No. 25,
Picton House, was formerly a detached
double-fronted villa. No. 23 is also
significant, set back from the pavement edge
with a pitched roof and stucco render. The
large front window gives ample light to the
workshop within. Considered an Unlisted
Building of Merit no. 23 is important to the
character of Picton Street and to the wider
Conservation Area.
21
CHARACTER AREA 3: UPPER MONTPELIER
7.1.13 This area is focused on the central streets
that climb the contours of the hill that rise
towards Ashley Hill: St Andrews Road,
Richmond Road, York Road, Upper
Cheltenham Place, Cobourg Road, Fairfield
Road (south side).
Scale
7.1.14 These are the streets on the hillside where
the early houses are now mostly linked by
later terraces of Victorian villas. Within this
area each street has its own distinct
character. In York Road, Cobourg Road,
Upper Cheltenham Place and Fairfield Road
the houses on the south side are pavement
edged or have front basement areas; the
terraced bay villas on the north side of the
street usually have small front gardens.
7.1.15 In Richmond Road the smaller houses are at
the lower end of the street, with those at the
upper end mostly being large. Most houses
have front gardens.
• Two or three storeys, sometimes with
basement, up to three bays wide or
double-fronted
• Terraces directly address street behind low
boundary walls or area railings
• Larger properties set in substantial gardens
behind high boundary walls
• Variety of distinctive roof forms consistent
within small groups of terraces
Material Palette
• Stucco render, Pennant rubble, Limestone
ashlar, Red brick (sometimes painted)
• Limestone window heads and door
surrounds
• Timber sash windows/panelled doors
• Clay double roman tiles (occasional natural
slate) roof coverings
• Red brick chimney stacks with variety of
clay chimney pots
22
Figure 19: Nos. 40 – 44 Richmond Road
7.1.16 The character of the upper part of St
Andrews Road was, until recently, strongly
influenced by the gardens of houses in
Richmond Road and Cromwell Road. The
Richmond Road gardens are now being
developed with houses in a variety of styles,
but the Cromwell Road Gardens and their
mature trees, although just outside the
Conservation Area, remain significant in
establishing the character of this road.
MONTPELIER
7.1.18 Variety in roof forms also gives this area a
distinctive character. Pitched, butterfly or
gable ended, roof forms are consistent
within small groups of houses. Punctuating
the skyline are tall chimneystacks and clay
pots (see Townscape Details, Section 7.5).
Alterations and extension at roof level
threaten to undermine the consistency of
small groups and compromise the character
of the Conservation Area as a whole (see
Negative Features, Section 8).
CHARACTER AREA 4:
ASHLEY ROAD TO ASHLEY HILL
Figure 20: Nos. 20 – 32 St Andrew’s Road
7.1.17 These streets have a quiet, charming
character owing to the lack of throughtraffic, spectacular city-wide views and
volume of greenery glimpsed from private
gardens over boundary walls. Boundary
treatments are an important feature of this
character area and range from high Pennant
rubble walls concealing large gardens to
more formal area railings around basement
lightwells (see Townscape Details, Section
7.5). Trees in private gardens are also
valuable and add to the character and
quality of the environment.
7.1.19 This character area is focused on the
primary routes of Ashley Road, Sussex Place
and Ashley Hill. To the southeast of Sussex
Place is the short late 19th century terrace of
Magdalene Place. Each street element has a
distinctive character.
Scale
• Three storeys over basement plus attic
mansard, up to three bays wide
• Buildings set back from the street behind
long front gardens and high boundary
walls
• Detached properties set in large gardens
up Ashley Hill
• Modest two storey properties set behind
low front garden wall on Magdalene Place
• Roof concealed behind continual parapet

Material Palette
• Bath stone with ground-floor rustication

Place and Magdalene; Limestone ashlar to
Ashley Hill
• Pennant rubble or red brick boundary walls
on Ashley Road and Ashley Hill
• Limestone window heads and door
surrounds
Figure 22: Magdalene Place
• Timber sash windows and panelled doors
7.1.20 Ashley Road can be characterised by the
informal Georgian terraces, generally Bath stone
faced, with long front gardens behind
substantial boundary walls with a variety of
entrance gates (see Townscape Details, Section
7.5).
7.1.23 On the southwest side of Ashley Hill is a
terrace of two-storey, Pennant rubble
buildings which retain some traditional
timber shopfronts.
7.1.21 Boundary treatments are a significant feature
and where they have been lost or
inappropriately rebuilt this has had a harmful
effect on the quality of the street scene (see
Negative Features, Section 8).
7.1.21 The mature planting of the gardens gives a
continuing sense of the semi-rural setting
originally enjoyed by these houses and is a vital
element contributing to the character of the
Conservation Area as a whole.
7.1.22 Sussex Place runs down the hill from the
bottom of Ashley Hill to Ashley Road and has a
commercial character, containing two groups of
shopfronts. Nos. 37 – 61 are paired villas, set
back from the road. Many of the original front
gardens have largely been lost to off-street
parking.
7.1.23 Magdalene Place contains a c.1870 modest
Classical terrace, consistent in scale and style to
groups in East/West Grove and Brook Road (see
Character Area 5). Nos. 1, 3, and 7 once
contained shopfronts, though these have been
lost. The group is rendered with stone dressings
and roofs concealed behind a continual parapet.
Some of the low boundary walls and front
garden areas have been lost to off-street
parking.
24
Figure 23:Timber shop front, Ashley Hill
7.1.24 This terrace give way to larger villas set in
substantial plots further up Ashley Hill. The
large trees in the gardens on Ashley Hill are
significant features as are the remaining
front boundary treatments and views out to
the east.
7.1.25 Two significant buildings sit in this
character area: the former Jenner’s Milliner
Shop on the Lower Ashley Road/Ashley
Road/Sussex Place Junction and the Ivy
Pentecostal Church. These buildings break
the otherwise consistent scale in the area
and form local landmarks owing to their
prominent positions.

Classical-style buildings
• Simple, undecorated flat facades on

• Pennant rubble, Stucco rendered (painted)

CHARACTER AREA 5: LOWER MONTPELIER
• Timber Victorian sash windows
7.1.26 This character area includes the streets
north of Ashley Road and west of Sussex
Place that were developed rapidly during the
building boom from the 1860s onwards.
These streets were each developed with a
consistency of architectural style not seen
elsewhere in the Conservation Area. All
properties are modestly scaled as were built
to accommodate the lower-middle classes.
Scale
• Modest domestically-scaled: two storeys,
one or two bays wide
• Properties directly address street edge or
are set back behind small front gardens
but all form a strong building line
• Brick chimney stacks with clay pots
7.1.27 Albert Park, Albert Park Place, East/West
Grove, and Brook Road were developed first
in the 1860s to 70s as economical Classical
terraces with uniform facades. Terraces are
rendered with stone dressings and roofs
concealed behind a continual parapet. The
consistency of style and scale is important in
creating the character of these streets. Most
were built with small front areas behind low
boundary walls, though a number have been
lost to off-street parking to the detriment of
the area’s character (see Negative Features,
Section 8).
7.1.28 Albany Road, Lower Cheltenham Place,
Shaftesbury Avenue and Banner Road. There
are two distinct styles, with slight variations,
between the streets. Those that were
developed as modest Classical terraces, and
those that were slightly later mid-1880s
25
terraces of typical Victorian style with bay
windows and pre-moulded decorations.
7.1.29 Shaftesbury Avenue consists of highly
ornamented terraced bay villas of Pennant
stone, densely packed and built in large,
consistent groups. The bends in this road
follow the course of the Cutlers Mill Brook
and add to the character of the streetscape.
Figure 26: Lower Cheltenham Place, north side
7.1.31 The southeast side has a more consistent
character, containing an early c. 1820 terrace
of 18 houses, stucco with limestone
dressings at the west end. Further east are
later Victorian groups, mainly red brick with
limestone details.
Figure 25: Shaftesbury Avenue
7.1.30 Lower Cheltenham Place is less consistent.
The mews-style and mixed character on the
northern side of the street reflects the more
piecemeal nature of development, which
occurred in the bottom of the long garden
plots that extended down from the Cobourg
Road properties. For example, the gospel
hall, Longport Hall, was built in the garden
of Longport House, no. 55 Cobourg Road.
The high Pennant boundary walls along
Lower Cheltenham Place are the old garden
walls and their retention is vital in
preserving the ‘memory’ of the historic
garden plots. Most of the small-scale
workshops that once existed have either
been demolished, rebuilt or converted to
residential use.
CHARACTER AREA 6: FAIRFIELD SCHOOL
7.1.32 The streets around Fairfield School have a
uniform character, given by the consistency
of appearance of the Victorian bay villas in
these streets: Richmond Avenue, Fairlawn
Road, Falkland Road and Fairfield Road
(north side).
Scale
• Domestically-scaled: two storeys, one or
two bays wide
• Properties set back behind small front
gardens and low boundary walls, forming a
strong building line
• Hipped & gabled roof
• Bay windows and pre-moulded surface
decoration
26
MONTPELIER
• Chimney stacks punctuate the otherwise
consistent roofline
Material Palette
• Pennant rubble with Bath stone or premoulded detailing
caretaker’s buildings (all Grade II) stand in a
substantial plot, set behind area railings and
a low brick wall. The buildings face an
uncertain future as the old school relocated
to a new campus and no firm proposals have
yet been reached for the buildings, which are
covenanted for Educational Use.
• Low red brick or rubble stone front
boundary walls (coping of stone or
terracotta)
• Timber Victorian sash windows and
panelled doors
• Clay double roman tiles roofs, bays in
natural slate
• Brick chimney stacks with clay pots
7.1.33 The streets around the former Fairfield
School contain uniform two-storey terraced
bay villas of Pennant stone with Bath stone
or pre-molded details. The late Victorian
roofs are a distinctive feature, these in
natural slate with a hipped projection over
the double-height bay windows.
Figure 28: Fairfield School, currently vacant
7.1.35 The Malthouse is unique in this area for its
former use and architectural style. Built in
1876, now town houses, the distinctive
steep-pitched roof of the oast house is a key
feature in views down Richmond Avenue.
The rest of the building is in Pennant rubble.
7.1.36 Street trees add to the quality and
tranquility of the environment, especially
around Richmond Avenue. Heavily planted
front and rear gardens also add important
elements of greenery.

7.1.34 Fairfield School, by William Larkin Bernard
1898, is a dominant feature on Montpelier’s
skyline and a landmark in the character area
and wider Conservation Area. The stone

7.2 ARCHITECTURE
Overview
7.2.1 Montpelier represents one of the first
examples of suburban development in
Bristol; its architecture comprising largely of
domestically scaled terraces. The character of
the area is derived in large part from the
quality of the buildings, many of which are
listed and retain traditional features. As
urban development began in the mid18th
century and was mostly complete by 1900,
most properties are built in Georgian or
Victorian styles.
7.2.2 Montpelier’s harmony derives from its
human scale and overall consistency in
materials: red brick, render, ashlar and
rubble stone, Clay double roman tiless. The
streetscape is further unified by the front
boundary walls of rubble stone.
7.2.3 The Character Areas described above reflect
the architectural styles of the Conservation
Area, and is consistent in character and
period. The consistent use of traditional
materials and same basic approach gives
cohesion to Montpelier. Most buildings also
display typical architectural proportions,
with diminishing storey heights.
7.2.4 Montpelier contains a large number of late
Georgian houses; this is mainly due to its
location - close enough to the city centre to
have been developed in the early years of the
19th century, but far enough out to have
escaped the later industrialisation that
occurred in Stokes Croft and also the
bombing of the Second World War.
7.2.5 Generally the earlier houses have their
principal rooms facing south, often the
formal facade and entrance to the house is
on this side.
7.2.6 The formal, south-facing facades are often
brick with Bath stone dressings, sometimes
entirely of Bath stone. The formal entrances
generally have pedimented Bath stone doorcases. In some instances (e.g. nos. 42 - 48
York Road) there is a pedimented entrance at
both the front and back of the house.
7.2.7 There are a number of "single aspect" houses
in the Conservation Area. These are houses
one room deep with windows only or mainly
on one facade, usually to the south. Some of
these have been altered to have windows on
the originally blank wall, but their essential
character remains. There are few houses of
this type elsewhere in the city.

MONTPELIER
7.2.8 Victorian architecture tends to reflect the
shift in development and building patterns
in the area. Victorian terraces, particularly in
Lower Montpelier, are densely packed and
modestly-scaled. There is a noticeable
uniformity in design reflecting the influx of
pre-moulded architectural details to the
market. The style of buildings demonstrates
the status of new residents, the affluent
middle classes moved to the increasingly
popular Cotham and Redland, while
Montpelier had become increasingly
populated by lower-middle classes.
7.2.9 There are few examples in the Conservation
Area of formally composed terraces, they
almost all consist of identical houses. One
exception to this is Ashley Vale (83 - 99
Lower Cheltenham Place), a two storey brickfaced terrace where the central house is one
storey higher and has a stone plaque in its
parapet.

MONTPELIER
7.3 ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS
7.3.1 Montpelier has a rich variety of architectural
detail, reflecting the varied architectural
styles of the Conservation Area. The
preservation of so many traditional
architectural details in Montpelier
contributes to the special interest of the
area. The variety of windows, doors and
roofs enliven the area and give variety and
interest to the street scene. Most commonly
Classical details are used in porches,
windows, door surrounds, cornices and
parapets, which provide vital alleviation to
the stucco or brick facades.
7.3.2 It is important that architectural detail is
protected and preserved, as it is often the
factor that gives the plainer buildings their
character. Particularly in terraces it is the
overall consistency of design and detail that
gives the character, and loss of detail on one
house in a terrace can be damaging to the
whole group
including their detailing, materials and
method of opening make a significant
contribution to the character of the
Conservation Area.
7.3.7 Typically, Georgian windows in Montpelier
are single glazed, double hung, timber
sashes, recessed within the window reveal
and painted white. Sashes are usually sixover-six, though there are variations to this
pattern. Victorian sashes have fewer panes
and moulded window horns. Replacement
uPVC windows have seriously compromised
the character of individual buildings (see
Negative Features).
7.3.8 Doors and surrounds are the most
elaborately detailed element of the facades.
In Montpelier there are a variety of original
6-panel doors with traditional door
furniture. These have a variety of limestone
Classical surrounds.
7.3.3 Variety in scale and detailing in some
buildings reflects the more piecemeal type
of development that occurred in streets such
as York Road, Richmond Road and Upper
Cheltenham Place.
Roof Profiles
7.3.4 Roof profiles are fundamental to the
architectural character of a building or
group, and contribute greatly to the
character of an area. Alterations at roof level
can consequently have a significant impact
on an individual building and the wider
context.
7.3.5 Chimney stacks and pots form striking
features when seen against the skyline.
Replacement or removal of chimney pots
and stacks should be discouraged.
7.3.6 Windows and Doors are crucial in
establishing the character of a building’s
elevation. Original doors and windows,

7.3.9 Fanlights, a means of providing internal
hallways with additional light, are generally
semicircular and appear in various ornate
styles. Many of the properties in Picton
Street retain their original fanlights of
various designs.
7.3.10 Rainwater goods such as hoppers and
downpipes can be interesting traditional
features on a building’s façade. e.g The saltglazed ceramic rainwater head and
downpipe on Paradise Cottage (76 Richmond
Road). These are frequently lost through lack
of maintenance and insensitive replacement.
Where they remain, traditional examples
should be retained as they add value to
individual buildings and the wider street
scene.
7.3.10 The City Council will encourage the repair
and retention of original doors and windows
throughout the Conservation Area. Regular
maintenance and painting is essential to
ensure that problems of decay are not
allowed to flourish. Other architectural
details of special interest must be retained,
and specialist advice sought on repair. (See
Useful Information section.)
7.3.11 Where wholesale replacement is needed,
the detail of doors and windows must match
the originals in terms of glazing patterns and
method of opening. Poor quality
replacement doors and windows have a
detrimental impact on the architectural
integrity of individual buildings, and the
character of the conservation area as a
whole (see Negative Features).

7.4 MATERIALS
7.4.1 The predominant materials in an area not
only give texture and interest to individual
buildings, they also characterise an area
giving cohesion to an otherwise varied built
environment. Traditional materials can also
be indicative of the local geology.
7.4.2 Montpelier sits on a layer of Keuper Marl or
mercer Mudstone and a soft Redcliffe
Sandstone. This stone is too soft for building
and the Pennant seen in Montpelier would
have come from the coal measures in east
Bristol.
7.4.3 The strong material palette seen in
Montpelier unites the area and also gives an
indication of building ages and patterns of
development. Where recent infill and new
developments in the Conservation Area have
failed to respect the dominant palette, the
introduction of new brick, plastic windows
and concrete roof coverings undermines the
character of the area as a whole.
Any proposal should take into account the
character of its context. Applications for
alterations to a Listed Building or its
curtilage that fail to preserve the building,
its features or setting will not be permitted.
Policies B17, B18, B19, B20
Original architectural features, materials and
detail are vital to the quality of individual
buildings and the character of the
Conservation Area. Policy B16 encourages
the consideration of traditional architectural
elements that contribute to the overall
design in a group of historic buildings.

7.5 TOWNSCAPE DETAILS
7.5.1 Other features and details in the townscape
also contribute to a sense of local
distinctiveness. These can range from
distinctive boundary treatments and street
furniture, to trees and hard landscaping.
Individually and collectively they contribute
to the overall quality of Bristol’s streetscape.
7.5.2 The Montpelier Conservation Area is rich in
local townscape details that cumulatively
give interest and quality to the street scene
and make a positive contribution to the
character and appearance of the area.
Where they remain, these details must be
preserved or replaced with their modern
equivalents as their degradation and
disappearance gradually undermines the
quality of the area (see Negative Features,
Section 8).
Traditional Street Surfaces
7.5.3 Traditional surface treatments such as setts
and paving can be important elements in the
townscape of an area. Paving, if well
maintained and in high quality materials,
contributes greatly to the character of an
area, providing the backdrop to surrounding
buildings. Their maintenance and retention
is essential.
7.5.4 Many of the streets in the Conservation Area
retain setted gutters and stone kerbs. It is
likely that setted gutters remain in situ
under tarmac in many other places. There
are also a significant number of stone-paved
haulingways across pavement, mostly
outside premises which were formerly in
industrial or commercial use.

north side
7.5.5 Schemes to restore the traditional street
surface would greatly enhance the character
of the area and promote its historic context.
Continued maintenance of street surface,
particularly setts, is vital as these easily
become dislodged and can present
difficulties to pedestrians and non-ambulant
users.
7.5.6 A cohesive plan for the future of street
surfaces, that reduces the hotchpotch
treatments, whilst considering maintenance,
would greatly enhance the local
environment. Where the opportunity arises,
a scheme to restore the traditional street
surfaces would greatly enhance the routes
where it has been lost.
Railings and Boundary Treatments
7.5.7 Railings and boundary walls contribute
significantly to the character of the
Montpelier Conservation Area. They add
interest and variety of scale in the street
scene and provide a sense of enclosure.
Where they remain, traditional boundary
walls, gates, gate piers and railings must be
preserved, sympathetically restored or
reinstated as and when the opportunity
arises.

Street Furniture
7.5.8 Montpelier has a fascinating collection of
historic street furniture, some of which is
listed. Street furniture, including letter
boxes, lamp standards, and other details,
enlivens the street scene but also reflects
the history of the area. The appropriate
maintenance and protection of this is
important, as is the need to prevent modern
street clutter detracting from its setting.

Shopfronts and Public Houses
7.5.9 Shopfronts can be of great importance in
contributing to the character and
appearance of both individual buildings and
the conservation area as a whole, and can be
of historic and architectural interest in their
own right.
7.5.10 Montpelier has a fine collection of original
and traditional shopfronts throughout the
Conservation Area. Picton Street, a purposebuilt shopping street, contains an array of
individual shopfronts which have retained a
number of their traditional features even
where the shops themselves have been
converted to residential. Elsewhere are
clusters of shopfronts that appear as groups,
unified by a continual entablature or fascia
depth. In addition a number of individual
shopfronts, though few of these are still in
commercial use.
Local Townscape Details are shown on Map 8
The loss of private planting, the removal of
boundary walls and railings, the introduction
of car parking into traditional front garden
areas, and the loss or replacement of
traditional signage, street lighting, paving
and street furniture can all adversely affect
the character of the historic environment
and will generally not be acceptable. Policy
B15 (I – III) should be consulted.

MONTPELIER
7.6 UNLISTED BUILDINGS OF MERIT
7.6.1 Montpelier contains an extremely high
concentration of listed buildings, reflective of
the quality of the environment. Listed
properties tend to comprise the Georgian
and early Victorian terraced houses.
7.6.2 Unlisted buildings can also make an
important contribution to the character and
quality of an area. This may be due to their
value within the townscape, their
architectural qualities or local historic and
cultural associations.
7.6.3 ‘Unlisted Buildings of Merit’ are considered
to make a positive contribution to the
special interest of the Conservation Area and
their demolition or unsympathetic alteration
will normally be resisted.
7.6.4 There are over 70 buildings shown on the
1828 Plumley & Ashmead map, which still
exist but are unlisted These are shown on
Map 9. Buildings of all periods contribute to
the diversity and interest of the area. In
addition to the pre-1830 buildings, there are
a number of terraced groups of good quality
from the later 19th century, particularly in
Richmond Road and York Road.
7.6.5 Many of those buildings which would not be
considered to be “of merit” when considered
individually are nonetheless significant in
defining and maintaining the character of
the Conservation Area, particularly as they
are more often than not in groups. These
achieve presence by the repetition of
significant features, such as gables or bays,
or in some cases by clearly stepping down
the slope of the street.
Unlisted Buildings of Merit, Negative and
Neutral Buildings are identified on Map 10.

7.7 LANDSCAPE
7.7.1 There is no formal landscaped area in
Montpelier. Publicly accessible open space is
limited to Albany Green and Montpelier Park
– both informal green areas created by the
demolition of a Victorian terrace and the
former St Andrew’s Church. These two
spaces are vital in providing respite from the
otherwise entirely built-up environment.
below, and the topography of the area is
apparent.
7.7.4 Although outside the Conservation Area, the
gardens of the Cromwell Road houses which
run down to St Andrews Road are valuable in
similarly conveying a sense of the original
landscape.
7.7.5 The original gardens and garden walls and
views up to houses revealing their southfacing principal facades. are increasingly
under threat and many have already been
lost to development in the gardens. Those
remaining gardens should be preserved in
order to protect the special interest of the
area.
Figure 41: Albany Green, one of only two public green spaces
in the Conservation Area
7.7.2 Private gardens represent the only other
green and landscaped elements in
Montpelier. The many mature private
gardens are therefore an important
complement to the general urban character,
which also have biodiversity value. Much of
this is in the green “corridors” behind the
terraces of houses along the principal
streets. There is also a significant amount of
mature trees and shrubs to be enjoyed in
public view, in front gardens and also in back
gardens where these run down to roads.
7.7.3 The long garden plots that extend
southwards from Fairfield Road and York
Road down to Upper Cheltenham Place and
Cobourg Road reflect the earliest Georgian
development in Montpelier, exploited for the
panoramic views offered across the City.
Today, the gardens and the backs of the
houses are still visible from the streets

8.
NEGATIVE FEATURES
8.1
Negative features are those elements that
detract from the special character of a
conservation area and therefore present an
opportunity for enhancement. This can
include both small features and larger
buildings and sites. It may be that simple
maintenance works can remedy the
situation, reinstate original design or lost
architectural features.
8.2
Loss of traditional garden plots and
boundary walls to infill or off-street parking
is impacting on the landscape quality and
biodiversity value of the area. Much of the
original environment of front gardens has
been eroded by paving or garage insertions.
8.3
Unsympathetic alterations & loss of
traditional architectural details – where poor
quality replacement doors and windows or
roof level extensions have been inserted
these have had a significant and detrimental
impact on the architectural integrity of
individual buildings.
8.4
Loss of single-family dwellings to flats and
Houses in Multiple Occupancy (HMOs) - has
an impact on the architectural integrity of
historic buildings through subdivision but
also associated pressures on the public realm
for parking etc.
8.5
Unsympathetic infill and over-intensive
developments – threaten to undermine the
character and special interest of the area.
Especially if they ignore predominant scale,
materials, local architectural features and
traditional building lines.
Figure 43: Ashley Court, Ashley Road
8.6
Shopfronts & Signage - Poor quality
replacement shopfront and signage can have
a dramatic effect on the quality of the street
scene. This is particularly significant along
Picton Street, Cheltenham Road and Sussex
Place.
Figure 44: Poor quality shopfront and signage, Picton Street
8.7
Poor maintenance of buildings and gardens
– the care and maintenance of individual
properties and private gardens affects the
character of the area as a whole
8.8
Small-scale accretions – External gas and
electricity meter boxes, boiler flues
(especially pluming condensing boilers),
cable TV boxes and wiring, satellite dishes,
telephone wires and poles, alarm boxes and
other minor additions have a significant
cumulative impact on the character of
41
streets and terraces. Careful siting and
choice of materials and colours can
significantly reduce the impact of these
elements. Redundant wires and boxes
should be removed.
Public Realm
8.9
Traffic issues – The narrow streets of
Montpelier create significant conflicts with
the pressures for on-street parking.
8.10 Loss of traditional street surfaces – gradually
erodes the quality of the public realm.
Pennant setts are frequently removed or
overlain with tarmac, creating a hotchpotch
of materials. Poorly reinstated traditional
surfaces or poor maintenance is equally
negative and poses a threat to pedestrians.
8.12 Loss of traditional street furniture
undermines the quality and special interest
of the environment. Traditional street
furniture, such as lampstandards, and
railings, should be retained and where
necessary, replacements should be
sensitively chosen.
8.13 Refuse, litter & ‘tagging’ all undermine the
quality of the environment and contribute to
a sense of decay and neglect in areas.
Tagging is especially problematic on garage
doors along St Andrews Road. The
proliferation of wheelie bins and recycling
boxes clutter the pavements and impede
pedestrian movement.
8.11 Advertising hoardings – Oversized and
unsympathetically located hoardings detract
significantly from individual buildings, the
street scene, and the quality of the wider
Conservation Area. The hoardings outside
Ivy Church are a particularly detrimental
feature in this part of the Conservation Area.
Figure 46: ‘Tagging’ on garages, St Andrew’s Road
8.14 Poor maintenance of play equipment – there
is little public green space in the
Conservation Area, that which exists is
undermined by the poorly maintained
equipment and surfaces in the children’s
play areas.
Figure 45: Advertising billboards outside the Ivy Church,
Ashley Road
8.15 Threat to key views into and out of
Montpelier from new developments outside
the Conservation Area, particularly in the
City Centre.
8.16 Westmoreland House site (including Grade II*
listed Carriage Works) just south of the
42
MONTPELIER
Conservation Area includes a large derelict
property that blights the skyline and views
out of Montpelier. Currently, the volume of
squatters on the site contribute to a
threatening environment, particularly at the
west end of Ashley Road.
Figure 47: Westmoreland House

9.
MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
9.1
It is expected that the effective management
of the Montpelier Conservation Area can, for
the most part, be met through an effective
policy framework and the positive use of
existing development control and
enforcement powers. The analysis of the
character and appearance of the
Conservation Area within the new Character
Appraisal therefore identifies those elements
the Council will seek to protect, as well as
negative features, which may present
opportunities for change or enhancement.
