Site: SN4079, Land north of Church Road and west of Tasburgh School
While there are no designated heritage assets within the site, the grade II listed Old Hall Farmhouse lies immediately to the north west of the site. In addition, the scheduled monument (a hillfort, known as ‘Camp in Village’, lies to the north of the site, which also includes the grade I listed Church of St Mary, and grade II listed war memorial and Rectory.
Therefore, any development of this site has the potential to impact upon the significance of these heritage assets. We are particularly concerned about the potential impacts on the Farmhouse, given its proximity. We do however appreciate this is seeking to increase the density of an existing allocation.
A heritage impact assessment of the site should be undertaken to assess the impact of the proposed development on the listed buildings and conservation area and determine if allocation of this site is appropriate, and if it is what mitigation may be required. The findings of the HIA should inform whether the site is allocated and if it is, the policy criterion including any mitigation and enhancement.
Complete an HIA to inform the allocation of the site including any mitigation, enhancement and policy wording.
