Whilst the site is located outside of the boundary of the Saltaire World Heritage Site (WHS) buffer zone it is within an area where tall buildings could affect its setting. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of the World Heritage Site.
Development on this site is unlikely to be built to a height that would be visible from the World Heritage Site, and thereby impact upon the Outstanding Universal Value of Saltaire. However, given that this is highlighted as a risk in the Saltaire World Heritage Site Management Plan (2014) it would be prudent to identify it as a development consideration in the Local Plan pro forma for this site.
Site KY40/H, add the following additional Development Consideration to the site pro forma:
‘Development must avoid impacting upon the outstanding Universal Value of the Saltaire World Heritage Site through affecting long distance views of the Site.’
