Ford Wells has entered into an agreement with the Landowner at Hulletts Farm, Pilgrim's Hatch, Brentwood (east of A128 Ongar Road, west and east of Hulletts Lane and north of Orchard Lane) to promote the residential development of the landholding including the conservation of the Grade II listed farmhouse and the two interesting buildings , a byre and a stable within its curtilage. The latter are considered suitable for residential conversion , the farmhouse itself is presently occupied but requires extensive repairs, refurbishment and updating. The outbuildings will require very considerable work to effect sympathetic repair and conversion.
To inform the Local Plan process two reports by Alan Stones AADip TPDip IHBC ret , heritage consultant and former head of design and historic buildings at ECC are included with this Comment Form. Also included is a preliminary study by Ashby Design which indicates how up to 71 new houses could be accommodated on the land adjoining the farmhouse and curtilage listed outbuildings. The need to safeguard the setting of the latter is fully appreciated
