Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 22583

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Historic England

Representation Summary:

Whilst there are no designated heritage assets within the site boundary, the site lies immediately adjacent to the Thorpe Hamlet Conservation Area and close to the scheduled remains of St Leonards Priory. The site lies on rising ground, opposite Cathedral Close across the river. There are also two nearby grade II listed buildings, Bridge House PH and Chalk Hill House. The City Centre Conservation Area lies nearby.
Any development of the site therefore has the potential to impact upon these heritage assets and their settings. We accept the principle of development but massing and height will be important considerations. We would expect development to blend in with the existing pattern of development. This should be included in the policy.
We welcome the inclusion of bullet point 2 in the policy but suggest that reference should also be made to the City Centre Conservation Area and the nearby grade II listed buildings, Bridge House PH and Chalk Hill House.

Suggested Change:
Reference should also be made to the City Centre Conservation Area and the nearby grade II listed buildings, Bridge House PH and Chalk Hill House.
Reference should be made in the policy to massing and height. Development should blend in with the existing pattern of development.
