There are no designated heritage assets on site. However, the site is adjacent to the Gedleston Conservation Area. There is also a pair of grade II listed cottages to the west of the site at West End. Any development of the site has the potential to impact on the significance of these designated heritage assets.
We welcome the preparation of the HIA. The HIA recommends that development needs to respect the form and layout of the Kells Estate. This is reflected in criterion 2.
Bullet point 4 states that the HER should be consulted to determine the need for any archaeological surveys prior to development. In our view, some assessment is needed to inform any planning application.
We therefore advise that bullet point 4 should be amended to read, ‘Planning applications should be supported by archaeological assessment including the results of field evaluation where appropriate.’
