Representation Summary:

The Council’s Heritage Impact Assessment is not sound as it has not been executed correctly and has failed to identify a Grade II listed property which has an open aspect over the entire site. It does not recognise that the agricultural setting of three Grade II listed buildings is integral to an understanding of their significance, as dictated by the NPPF. This has already been raised as a concern by Historic England. The strong link between the farmstead and the site is evidenced by restrictive covenants in existing deeds which prohibits residential development. Please refer to attached documents.

Change suggested by respondent:

Surveyor’s reports needed on the structural implications to existing listed buildings.
Perform a sound heritage impact assessment or review and adopt the attached independent heritage impact assessment
