Respondent: Historic England
Supportive subject to amendments.
We are pleased to note that references to the conservation area are made throughout this section, albeit that there is some uncertainty as to whether this is the Central Conservation Area or the Castle and Victoria Conservation Area. Equally, the need to respond sensitively to views from Jesus Green is noted to have been included.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the site is immediately opposite five Grade II listed structures, identified under three listings:
* The pair of telephone kiosks on Chesterton Road
* Jesus Green Lock
* Jesus Green Bridge
* Jesus Green Lock House
As a result of the change in ground level and proximity of the site to these listed structures, any redevelopment will likely form part of their setting. We strongly recommend that consideration of both the setting and the significance of adjacent listed structures be emphasised in the design guidance for the site, perhaps through incorporation of an additional heading after Paragraph 4.3.29.
Acknowledgement that the site is potentially within the setting of these listed structures should also be incorporated into the site designations.
