GUIDANCE FOR COMPLETION OF
BUILDINGS SURVEY FORM
1. BUILDING INDENTIFICATION and How to use it when surveying
BUILDING and PHOTO REF No
Each property has been given a unique 3 letter reference, which is marked on the “Master Map”. This identifier will be
used for all references to a specific building and its related photos
Surveying will be allocated to volunteers in batches of between 15 and 35 buildings per volunteer. This may include
garages and sheds. You will be provided with a map of the allocated properties to be surveyed, which will be an
enlarged section of the conservation area map. The area to be surveyed will be outlined with a purple border. Use the
map to identify the property being surveyed and enter its reference into the BUILDING and PHOTO REF No. box.
NOTE:
Buildings have been given their building ref. as if viewed from above. This means that in the case of “Over & Under”
buildings eg some of properties in Norridge Bottom, the map will only show one identifier ref. In such cases you will
need to complete surveys for both properties, entering the building ref. on the survey form but also adding a numerical
ref.
e.g.
Building BRM may be an “Over & Under” building, in which case the ref for each property would be
BRM 1 for the “Over” and BRM 2 for the “Under”.
Cross off each building on the map when it has been surveyed. There is no need to survey any building that is difficult
to access or is problematic for some other reason. Just leave it unmarked on your map and the office will follow up
later.
A supply of the building survey forms will be available for collection from Caroline Anstey at Imagine Toys. Please
email Holmfirthconservation@outlook.com to say when you intend to start so we can ensure there is an adequate
supply of survey forms. When you have completed your allocated batch please deliver them back to Caroline
together with the annotated survey map you were allocated with.
When you have done this email Holmfirthconservation@outlook.com to advise you have finished a survey and
request another map.
You will be provided with a badge to wear when surveying on the back of which will show your allocated volunteer
reference no. for use when completing the survey forms.
There is no time constraint for completion of a batch but the sooner we get some in the sooner we can begin data
input.

2. BUILDING DESIGNATION
Identity Area
The conservation area has been divided into 7 Identity Areas and can be obtained from the survey map you will be
issued with.
Building Name & No.
Enter if known. If uncertain approximate if possible by reference to nearby building or landmark.
Map Reference
The office will complete this.
Listed Building or Monument
Listed buildings will be surveyed separately so there is no need to complete this.
Key Unlisted Building
A tick in this box indicates this property is important. If there is no indicator but you consider the building to fall within
this category indicate with an X
Character Period
Circle the letter corresponding to the date that you think this building originates. (Reference to pages 5-6 of this guide
might give you some clues by assessing windows and doors. If unsure circle letter f (Unknown)
Current Building Use
This identifies the building use. Circle up to 3.
Building Type
This indicates the general structure of the building. Circle up to 2

3. BUILDING ANALYSIS
General
This section is divided into two parts, Page 2 covers Domestic & Commercial & Shop buildings while page 3 is for
shops only, and should be completed in addition to page 2
The purpose of the survey is to identify the status of three key factors.
1. The Building Materials & Key Features
2. A Measurement of Architectural Authenticity
3. A Measurement of Building Condition.
An analysis of the data collected will provide a foundation for assessing the overall status of buildings in the
conservation area.
NOTE: There will also be a survey of the public realm i.e. Parks and Gardens, Car parks, Riverscape and
Bridges, Street furniture, signage and roads, which will feed into the overall conservation survey
Each building feature is numbered and listed in the left hand column against which the relevant information is
recorded. Guidance for each section is as follows: Building Materials & Key features
Circle one attribute that fits best
Authenticity Score
This is to identify those characteristics that most truthfully reflect and embody the cultural heritage values of Holmfirth.
Enter the authenticity percentage for each feature by reference to guidance notes on page 5 of this manual which
provides guidance on the score to choose. (note; Authenticity score for Dormer/Roof Lights is not required)

Building Condition
Tick the box that most accurately describes the condition of each feature.
NOTE: If a particular feature does not apply i.e. there is no chimney, or it is not visible place a tick in the box
“Not visible N/A”
Use the following guidelines to help make your assessment.
Very good

Feature well-maintained and in excellent condition

Good

Feature in good condition, is structurally sound, weather tight
and no significant problems

Fair

Feature is structurally sound but in need of minor repairs, or
suggests a lack of maintenance

Poor

Feature is in poor condition if there are obvious faults likely to
lead to structural failure

Very bad

Feature is ruinous and derelict

NOTE: The data analysis will calculate the overall condition status from these scores

4. SHOP FEATURES
	
  
Shop Features
Circle as many features as apply
Impact
What is your overall impression of the impact presentation of shop front?
Comment
Any other points you may think relevant

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Parapet wall

Low ,usually enclosing a roof or a protective
barrier at the edge of a terrace or on the
side of a bridge

Coping

Capping stones eg on walls

Hip Roof
(hipped roof)

A hip roof, hip-roof or hipped roof, is a
type of roof where all sides slope
downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly
gentle slope (although a tented roof by
definition is a hipped roof with steeply
pitched slopes rising to a peak). Thus a
hipped roof house has no gables or other
vertical sides to the roof.
In architecture a corbel or console is a
structural piece of stone, wood or metal
jutting from a wall to carry a
superincumbent weight, a type of bracket.
A corbel is a solid piece of material in the
wall, whereas a console is a piece applied
to the structure.

Corbels Bracket

	
  

Gabled Roof

gable is the generally triangular portion of a
wall between the edges of intersecting roof
pitches. The shape of the gable and how it
is detailed depends on the structural
system used, which reflects climate,
material availability, and aesthetic
concerns.

Fanlight

A fanlight is a window, semicircular or
semi-elliptical in shape, with glazing bars or
tracery sets radiating out like an open fan. It
is placed over another window or a
doorway, and is sometimes hinged to a
transom

DESIGN AND MAT
To minimise the visual impact, the following points should be
considered:

Fascia

Fascia is an architectural term for a vertical
frieze or band under a roof edge, or which
forms the outer surface of a cornice, visible
to an observer.

•

The dormer should not dominate the existing roof. It is
recommended that the top of the dormer be set below the ridge
of the existing building, the bottom of the dormer be set above
the gutter line, the dormer be placed centrally and not take up
more than 50% of the original roof.

•

The design of the dormer is important. Whilst flat roof dormers
may be acceptable in some locations pitched roof dormers are
usually preferable and need less maintenance.

•

The materials used should harmonise with the existing ones.
The roof, cheeks and frontage of the dormer should have tiles
which match those already there. Large areas of PVCu can
look out of place on some buildings, especially those which are
traditional in character.

•

The characteristic features of the roof such as chimneys and
ridge tiles should be kept.

Dormer

A window that projects vertically from a
sloping roof.

Inappropriate style of dormer extension surrounded by
more appropriate dormers.
