In principle, the proposal provides a welcome opportunity to restore this Grade II Listed Building and its setting. However it has not been demonstrated, by the provision of evidence, that 115 new homes can be accommodated on the site in accordance with the DS NEW3 policy criteria, and without causing significant harm to the setting of the Listed Building its associated park/garden and the adjacent Conservation Area.
Evidence needs to be provided to illustrate how the quantum of development might be delivered without causing an unacceptable level of harm to the setting of the affected heritage assets.
Historic England Guidance on Enabling Development may help to inform any viability issues that may arise.
