Whilst there are no designated heritage assets within the site boundary, there are two grade II listed buildings (Lilac Farmhouse and Blenheim Cottage) to the south of the site. Any development has the potential to impact upon the setting of these heritage assets. There is currently no mention of these listed buildings within the policy or supporting text or of the requirement to conserve and enhance the significance of these heritage assets.

Suggested Change:
Amend the policy and supporting text to make reference to the grade II listed Lilac Farmhouse and Blenheim Cottage and the need to conserve and enhance the significance of the heritage assets (including any contribution made to that significance by setting). Include reference to the need for landscaping along the southern edge of the site.

This site lies to the east of the Horsham St Faith Conservation Area and its associated listed buildings including the Grade I listed Church of the Blessed Virgin and St Andrew as well as St Faith Priory which is a scheduled monument. Any development of the site has the potential to impact upon the setting of these heritage assets.
This is a sensitive site in terms of the potential impact upon these multiple heritage assets, some of which are highly graded. We therefore have some concerns about the allocation of this site.
We suggest that a more detailed Heritage Impact Assessment be undertaken to assess the impact of the proposed development upon the significance of these heritage assets, to establish the suitability or otherwise of the site and to establish appropriate mitigation and enhancement should the site be found suitable. If the site is found suitable, the findings of the HIA should then inform the policy wording.
We do however note and welcome the reference to the church in the policy and the Conservation Area and listed buildings in the supporting text.

The policy wording should also reference the conservation area.
