Mill Road Depot Draft Planning and Development Brief SPD

Representation ID: 31073

Received: 19/07/2016

Respondent: Historic England

Representation Summary:

Paragraph 4.6.7 In the final sentence, should this read 'Taller buildings' or 'A taller building'? With respect to tall buildings, we refer you to our HE Advice Note 4 - tall buildings: https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/tall-buildings-advice-note-4/ . Whilst four storeys may not be regarded as particularly tall, it is taller than the mainly two-storey neighbourhood. Any development would need to give due consideration to the draft Local Plan (Proposed Modifications) which sets out criterion against which tall buildings are assessed. However, we await more detailed proposals to assess and draw firm conclusions in this respect.
