Mill Road Depot Draft Planning and Development Brief SPD
Representation ID: 31071
Received: 19/07/2016
Respondent: Historic England
Paragraph 3.2.3 Historic England welcomes the proposed retention of the Listed former Free Library building, the language school and the gatehouse building to the south of the site. The NPPF makes it clear that the Government attaches 'great weight' to the conservation of designated heritage assets (paragraph 132). Any proposals for the site should consider the setting of the listed building and seek and preserve and enhance this. The NPPF confirms that the significance of heritage assets derives not only from a heritage asset's physical presence, but also from its setting (paragraph 132).
