The site is within the Goitside Conservation Area and contains the cottage, a non-designated heritage asset, at its north-east corner.
Another key non-designated asset, the Sun Hotel, is adjacent to the sites south-west corner. The Conservation Area is included on the Heritage at Risk register. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of these heritage assets.
We would expect the Local Plan requirements for this site to reflect those set out in the AAP. Consequently, the Development Considerations and Constraints & Opportunities identified for this site in the Draft Local Plan need to reflect those in the AAP. If there have been any significant changes to the sites circumstances since its allocation in the AAP that we are not aware of, or the development proposed is significantly different (e.g. in
terms of land use, density, scale, developable area etc.), the Council should undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment as part of the Evidence Base.
Add the following additional Development Consideration to the site pro forma:
‘The building line of new development should follow all four edges of the site to define the surrounding streets.’
