Burnham Market's conservation area covers almost the entire spine of the historic central part of the village, running along North Street, Front Street and Station Road. That shapes what can be done on a roof here. The village design guidance for new build, extensions and alterations says building heights should accord with the settlement character of two storey dwellings, and the design code says dormer windows in the roof should not be used on new development. It also says flat roofs for buildings, extensions, garages and dormer windows should be avoided. If rooflights are used, they should be sited discreetly so as not to become a feature in the landscape, and solar PV panels should integrate with the overall pitch, materials and feel of the roof. On repairs and re-roofs in the conservation area the constraint is listed building consent and conservation area controls rather than that design code, and we work to both.
Burnham Market sits 8km west of Wells-next-the-Sea, 19km north-east of Hunstanton and 31km (19 miles) north-east of King's Lynn, so it is a short run out for us with materials and access gear. The Green is a central space that has become subdivided into a series of low grass mounds by the two service roads running alongside the north and south sides. The village has listed buildings ranging from Grade I, II* to Grade II.
Building types run to terraced with some detached and semi-detached houses in the conservation area, and bungalows in the areas just south of the conservation area. Roofs tend to be traditionally pitched, with some hipped examples. Red pantile, smut grey pantiles, black glaze pantiles, Welsh slate and lead are most often used on existing roofs. Orange pantile is widespread and is what the design code wants used on new development.
