A large group of Grade II Listed Buildings associated with the former North Bierley Union Workhouse, then subsequently Thornton View Hospital, is located 200 metres to the north-east of the site.
We welcome the inclusion of a reference to the proximity of these designated heritage assets as a Constraint in the sites pro forma, and that the Development Considerations highlight that a sensitive design and layout will be required to avoid or minimise the impact of development on them. This will alert potential developers of the need to take account of those elements which contribute to their significance, and ensure that they are not harmed by development proposals.
