The proposal was to add a side
extension and a front porch. We endorsed the representations about the porch
made to the Council by Richard Henderson, a long-standing member of the
Society, who carried out research some years ago into the work of the architect
Louis Moore. Moore was responsible for this and a number of other houses in
Hertford. The Council’s conservation officer agreed with Richard that the
building is a fine example of Moore’s style combining Arts and Crafts with
Scandinavian influences, and that the proposed porch would have been too large;
indeed the officer was highly critical of the design of the proposed extension
too.
The application was refused.
