Development of the R14/15 site should include direct access to the open space amenity of Kett’s Heights which is directly adjacent to the east of the site. This open space area is owned by the City Council and actively managed by a community volunteer group 'Friends of Kett's Heights'. At the moment the site has only one access point on Kett's Hill and there is a strong feeling in the community that a second entrance would increase the use of the site. If such an entrance were to be made from a new housing development in R14/R15 then is would almost certainly need to be stepped because of the steepness of the terrain.

Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 22584

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. The scheduled Blockhouse known as the Cow Tower lies to the west of the site, as does the City Centre Conservation Area.
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 Cow Tower a scheduled monument.

Suggested Change:
Reference should be made in the policy to massing and height. Development should blend in with the existing pattern of development.
