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.

This is a large site on the east side of Steeton close to the Steeton Conservation Area. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of this designated heritage asset.

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 in its vicinity, and what impact the loss of this undeveloped site and its subsequent 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 these 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).

The site is located 150 metres to the east of Steeton Conservation Area. However, given the topography of the site and the surroundings fields, along with the intervening area of woodland to the west, development of this site is unlikely to impact on the setting of the Conservation Area.
However, we welcome the inclusion of a reference to the proximity of the Conservation Area as a Constraint in the sites pro forma, and that the Development Considerations highlight that development proposals should consider and mitigate any impacts on its setting. 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 site is adjacent to Addingham Conservation Area and close to several Grade II listed buildings, including Burnside Mill House. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of these designated heritage assets.
The Heritage Impact Assessment for this site considers that if the field-edge planting was maintained and reinforced as part of any development proposal, development would not be visible from within the Conservation Area. The HIA concludes that development
of the proposed site would have a Negligible impact on the significance of the Conservation Area.
For the most part, Historic England would concur with this analysis and with the assessment of the degree of harm that the development of this site would be likely to cause. We do however consider that the mitigation measures could have provided further guidance regarding the form of development that is likely to be
acceptable on this site and minimise impacts on the Conservation Area, particularly in relation to the height of buildings, roofscape design and building material. Nevertheless, we would endorse the development considerations set out in the site pro forma for this
allocation.
As highlighted by the HIA, in allocating this site the Council must be satisfied that the fields within the Conservation Area to the north of the site remain viable farm land, will not otherwise risk degeneration to scrub if they become disused, or face increasing pressure for development. The same applies to the fields between
sites AD3/H and AD4/H.

The site is partially within the Addingham Conservation Area and close to several Grade II listed buildings, including Ivy House. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of these designated heritage assets.
The Heritage Impact Assessment for this site, which also includes the field to the east of the allocated site, considers that if the fieldedge planting was maintained and reinforced as part of any development proposal, development would have a limited visible impact from within the Conservation Area. The proposed site is
separated from the built form of the Conservation Area by a deep series of fields, and it is felt that development of the site would not adversely affect the spatial qualities or setting of the conservation area. Development of only the westernmost field of the two assessed would further lessen impact. The HIA concludes that development would have a Less than substantial harm of an acceptable level impact on the significance of the Conservation Area.
Historic England would concur with this analysis and with the assessment of the degree of harm that the development of this site would be likely to cause. Historic England would also endorse the removal of the easternmost field assessed as part of the HIA from
the allocation boundary. We do however consider that the
mitigation measures could have provided further guidance regarding the form of development that is likely to be acceptable on this site and minimise impacts on the Conservation Area, particularly in relation to the height of buildings, roofscape design and building material.
