Although this is not an allocated site in the Local Plan, the settlement limit is being amended to incorporate this land.
Although the land does not include any designated heritage assets, the site is located between two grade II listed buildings – the United Reform Church and 155 High Road. Therefore, any development of this site has the potential to impact upon the significance of these heritage assets.
There does not appear to be an HIA for this site. We recommend the preparation of an HIA for this site ahead of the EiP.
Notwithstanding this, we have some reservations about the approach to the extension of settlement limits because it is unclear how site-specific policy requirements e.g. mitigation measures recommended in an HIA, can be secured in the absence of a site-specific policy.
