Relevant interests of the site (also see assessment form)
Haute Vue was first registered in 1992 and is currently on the Historic Buildings Register as a BLI.
The site comprises an 18th century house (with earlier remains including a chamfered arch doorway) which is of historical and architectural interest, an adjoining outbuilding which was heavily reconstructed – if not entirely rebuilt – in 1989, and a number of other houses on the site dating to 1989.
No internal inspection of the 18th century house has been undertaken.
Advice received (MRLAG or others)
MRLAG discussed the site at its meeting on 8 October. Members were unanimous that the BLI registration should be restricted to the 18th century house.
JHT recommendation
The existing BLI registration should be restricted to the 18th century granite house (now known as No.3 Haute Vue).
Justification relating to criteria
The 18th century granite house is the only part of the site that satisfies the published criteria for registration as a BLI.
