The site is opposite the Leeds Liverpool Canal Conservation Area. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of this designated heritage asset. 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 consideration should be given to the retention and conversion of the existing buildings and that development should take account of potential impacts on the setting of the Conservation Area. 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. The Council should consider whether any of the buildings and
structures on the site should be classified as non-designated heritage assets.
