Respondent: Historic England

In order to demonstrate that the allocation of this area is not incompatible with the requirements of the NPPF, as part of the Evidence Base underpinning the Plan there needs to be an assessment of what contribution this area makes to those elements which contribute to the significance of these heritage assets and what effect development might have upon their significance.
Before allocating this site for
development:
(1) An assessment needs to be undertaken of the contribution which this site makes to those elements which contribute towards the significance of the Listed
Buildings, and what impact development might have upon their significance.
(2) If it is considered that the development of this site would harm elements which contribute to the significance of the Listed Buildings, then the measures by which
that harm might be removed or reduced need to be effectively tied into the Plan
(3) If, at the end of the process, it is
concluded that the development would
still be likely to harm elements which
contribute to the significance of the Listed
Buildings, then this site should not be
allocated unless there are clear public
benefits that outweigh the harm (as is
required by NPPF, Paragraph 195 or 196).
