Whilst there are no designated heritage assets within the site boundary, St Bartholomew’s Church which is as scheduled monument and listed at grade II lies to the east of the site.
Any development of the site therefore has the potential to impact upon these heritage assets and their settings.
There is currently no mention of the church in the policy or supporting text.
We welcome bullet point 2 and also the reference to the industrial garden.
Suggested Change:
Reference should be made in the policy and supporting text to the nearby St Bartholomew’s Church (grade II listed and a scheduled monument)

The site is owned by Anglian Water and is located within the urban area of Norwich. This site is allocated in the adopted Local Plan also as site R31. This site has been carried forward and is allocated for a housing led mixed use development and open space. This site is in a sustainable location and makes use of previously developed land and therefore it should continue to be allocated in the new Local Plan. However, part of the site is now unavailable as Anglian Water wishes to ensure it has sufficient land for its future needs although there is no requirement in the current plan period for infrastructure investment. This means that the number of homes that can be accommodated on the site is reduced to approximately 60 homes.
The accompanying plan shows the remaining land that is now available and that can be developed over the plan period. We propose that the allocation is amended to this new boundary. The remaining site specific requirements are considered appropriate except for the one relating to:
The land adjoining the River Wensum will provide a public open space with a publicly accessible riverside walk. This needs to be amended due to the enhanced security requirements now needed for the water treatment site. It is proposed this criteria be amended to state:
The land adjoining the River Wensum will provide a public open space with a publicly accessible riverside walk subject to water security considerations. In conclusion Anglian Water continues to support this allocation subject to the amendments suggested above.
