Respondent: Historic England

This large cross boundary site for 680 dwellings includes a grade II listed bottle kiln and the southern portion of the site lies within the Trowse Millgate Conservation Area. Any redevelopment of this site has the potential to affect these designated heritage assets and their settings.
Historic England is broadly supportive of the principle of redevelopment of this site.
There is currently no reference to these designated heritages assets within the policy or supporting text. To that end, we recommend that reference is made both in the policy and the supporting text to the need to Conserve and where appropriate enhance significance of the grade II listed bottle Kiln and Trowse Millgate Conservation Area (including any contribution made to that significance by setting).
While there maybe no designated heritage assets in northern most part of the site, any tall structures have the potential to impact on longer views (especially from higher ground) in towards the historic city core (including the castle and cathedral). Although there are no designated heritage assets along this stretch of river bank, this part of the site has a significant potential for archaeology. This should be referenced in the policy

Suggested Change:
Amend policy and supporting text to reference the designated heritage assets and the need to Conserve and where appropriate enhance significance of the grade II listed bottle Kiln and Towse Millgate Conservation Area (including any contribution made to that significance by setting).
