The garden at Barford House does not represent a logical local list entry as it does not conform to either the currently surviving asset or its former extent.

With regard to the surviving asset, which would be the logical extent of the Local List entry, this would encompass the current landholding of Barford House, comprising its immediate extant gardens and grounds. The short-lived parkland-like character that the land to the north and north-east of Barford House had has now been entirely lost. The areas to the east and north of the house, never had a parkland character and are devoid of features and remains worthy of inclusion.

If the list entry were to be based on the former extent of the estate, on that basis, it should logically also include land to the west of Wellesbourne Road. there are also other illogical omissions from the proposed boundary.
