The site adjoins the boundary of the Goitside Conservation Area which is included on the Heritage at Risk register. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of this designated heritage asset. The principle of allocating this site, for development set out in the APP, has therefore been recently established as part of the Local Plan for.
We would expect the Local Plan requirements for this site relating to the conservation and enhancement of the historic environment to, as a minimum, reflect those set out in the AAP. Consequently, we welcome that the Development Considerations and Constraints & Opportunities identified for this site in the Draft Local Plan reflect those in the AAP. However, 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 of the site as part of the Evidence Base to the emerging Local Plan.
