The Additional Local Plan Site Allocations Historic Environment Assessment Statement (January 2016) highlights the significant impact of future development on the setting of the Conservation Area. From the report it is not clear if harm can be avoided. WDC should clarify this matter to demonstrate that special attention has been paid to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of the adjacent Conservation Area in accordance with S72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
How might development respond to ensure the Conservation Area's significance is sustained and how should appropriate and effective safeguards (if they exist) be reflected in the Local Plan itself?
