Whilst there are no designated heritage assets within the site boundary the site lies immediately adjacent to the Bowthorpe Conservation Area and within the setting of Bowthorpe Hall (grade II listed).
Any development of the site therefore has the potential to impact upon these heritage assets and their settings.
We therefore welcome reference to the Conservation Area and Bowthorpe Hall within bullet point 4 of the policy.

Existing allocation but extended We note that this is an existing allocation. There is a cluster of grade II listed buildings (Old Hall, Rectory and wall) to the north of the site. Any development has the potential to impact upon the setting of these designated heritage assets. There is currently no mention of these assets within the policy or the need to conserve and where appropriate enhance the significance of these nearby heritage assets.

Suggested Change:
We suggest that the policy be amended to include reference to the heritage assets and the need to conserve and where appropriate enhance them Suggested wording: Development should conserve or where appropriate enhance the significance of nearby heritage assets including Old Hall and its wall, and the Rectory (noting that significance may be harmed by development within the setting of an asset) through appropriate landscaping, density and design.

Whilst there are no designated heritage assets within the site boundary, a grade II listed Round House lies to the south east of the site. However, it would appear that there is an existing commitment between the proposed site and the Round House and so there will be no additional harm to that already permitted,
