Village Questionnaire
In Dec/Jan of 1999/2000 the Tealby Society distributed 216 questionnaires
and received 86 replies, a 40% response. There were six basic questions:
-
1) How would you describe Tealby as it is now?
The most common responses included... “attractive and unspoilt,
heterogeneous mix of houses, picturesque edge of the Wolds, dominant position
of the Church, attractive gardens, beautiful landscape, stream, trees
and scenery, excellent walks”.
2) How do you feel about the expansion of Tealby with, say, new housing
developments?
Commonest responses... generally against, no developments, agree to expansion
to match surrounding properties, needs careful layout and style, yes to
"starter homes", infilling with "affordable housing".
3) Any new development or building should enhance the character of the
village, and should be designed to a high standard. What aspects of the
village or local characteristics should be reflected in these developments?
Local stone (almost unanimous), old bricks, clay pantiles, cottage style
(not bungalows), size/style important, windows/doors/roofs to match surroundings
4) If there were an opportunity to improve the village as a whole, or
create new features in it, what would you like to see?
Village shop, off-street parking, old style streetlights, more bench seats,
improved transport.
5) Is there anything you do not like about Tealby?
Traffic speed, the new development on Rasen Road with street lighting,
lack of car-parking (especially in Front Street).
6) Have you any other constructive comments or opinion?
Sympathetic street lighting, do not want street lighting, better bus service,
more car parking, the Smooting is very dank.
The opinions on street lighting were evenly split. Subsequent enquiries
by the Parish Council suggest that the cost of installation could well
be as high as £250,000. On this basis it was felt that the village
would be unlikely to agree. The questionnaire was completed anonymously;
therefore it was not possible to determine if there were certain areas
that which would receive overwhelming support and other areas that would
have overwhelming rejection. Perhaps a more detailed survey should be
carried out.
The majority of responses showed that people were very happy with the
village and only wanted limited expansion using materials and styles that
complement the existing buildings.
Regrets were expressed at the loss of the village shop and the limited
public transport system. These problems are common to most small villages.
There was good support for the primary school, which helps to encourage
younger people to wish to live in the village.

Appendix 3
Summary of Article 4 Direction
Most of the village is within the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty. In addition, large proportions of the centre
of Tealby and Tealby Thorpe are in Conservation Areas (see plans). In
November 1971 a Direction under Article 4 of the Town and Country Planning
General Development Order was made for the main Tealby Conservation Area.
It was revised in September 1991. As a result, planning permission is
required for:-
1) all extensions, improvements or other alterations to any elevation
or roof of a dwellinghouse. Therefore, planning permission is required
for porches outside any external door, garages, conservatories, carports,
garden sheds or any other extension of any size or height.
2) cladding to any part of the exterior of a house with stone, artificial
stone, timber, plastic or tiles.
3) alterations to the shape of a roof, including dormer
windows, a change in the type of roof tiles and for any
other addition or removal, such as a chimney.
4) new or replacement windows that are not exactly like-for-like.
5) installation, alteration or replacement of all satellite
antennae on a dwelling or within its curtilage.
6) new or alteration (including removal) to an existing gate, wall or
fence.
7) erection of any agricultural building of any kind and any excavation
or engineering operations on the open hillside to the north of the school
and bounded by Rasen Road and Church Lane or the open fields situated
to the north of Sandy Lane behind existing frontage development along
Rasen Road, Cow Lane and Front Street.
Most of the mature trees within the village are protected by a Tree Preservation
Order. Before lopping or felling any tree it is a requirement that owners
seek approval from the District Council.
It is possible to obtain grants of up to £2000 from WLDC for repairs
to buildings within the Conservation Areas. Examples of work that may
receive funding are:-
re-roofing, chimneys, rainwater goods, stonework and brickwork, windows
and doors.
