Two Grade II Listed Buildings, Ivy House and 23 Lyon Road, are located 40 metres east of the sites south-east corner. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of this designated heritage asset.
When considering the impact of a proposed development on the significance of a designated heritage asset, great weight should be given to the asset’s conservation, with any harm to, or loss of, the significance of an asset requiring clear and convincing justification. There is a requirement in the 1990 Act that “special regard” should be had to the desirability of preserving Listed Buildings or their setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess. The site proforma for this site makes no reference to the sites proximity to these designated heritage assets, or to the need to
ensure that those elements which contribute to the significance of these heritage assets are not harmed by development.
If allocated, the Plan should make it clear that development proposals for this area would need to ensure that those elements which contribute to the significance of the designated heritage assets in its vicinity are not harmed.
