Thank you for consulting Historic England on the Greater Norwich Local Plan Regulation 19 Draft including The Strategy and The Sites. As a statutory consultee, our role is to ensure that the conservation of the historic environment is fully integrated into planning policy and that any policy documents make provision for a positive strategy for the conservation and enjoyment of the historic environment.

Our comments below should be read with reference to our previous comments dated 1.2.17, 15.3.18, 4.12.1, 26.4.19 and 16.3.20. Please also see our detailed comments in the attached tables, Appendix A in relation to The Strategy and Appendix B regarding The Sites.

SUMMARY
The Greater Norwich Local Plan covers the Strategy and Site Allocations. While commenting on the plan as a whole, Historic England is particularly concerned, for its implications for Norwich itself. Norwich is one of England’s great historic cities, and its architectural and historic character, and the sense of place associated with that, make a profound and wholly beneficial contribution to the city’s well-being.

In line with paragraph 185 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) it is important that the Plan should set out a positive strategy for the conservation and enjoyment of the historic environment, including heritage assets most at risk through neglect, decay or other threats.

Representation Summary:

This is a new site. Diggens Farmhouse, listed at grade II, lies to the east of the site. We welcome criterion 8 that specifically references the asset but suggest that mention should also be made of the need to include open space and landscaping at the eastern end of the site to protect the significance of the asset.

Given the proximity of the Farmhouse we suggest that a more detailed Heritage Impact Assessment be undertaken to assess the impact of the proposed development upon the significance of this heritage asset, to establish the suitability or otherwise of the site and to establish appropriate mitigation and enhancement should the site be found suitable. This HIA should be completed in advance of the EIP. If the site is found suitable, the findings of the HIA should then inform the policy wording.

Change suggested by respondent:

Include a requirement for open space and landscaping at the eastern end of the site.

We suggest a detailed HIA is undertaken for this site prior to EiP to assess the suitability or otherwise of the site and consider any appropriate mitigation.

Representation Summary:

Whilst there are no designated heritage assets within the site boundary, the grade II listed Little Potash/Brunel House and Corporation Farmhouse lie to the east of the site.

There is currently no mention of these heritage assets in the policy or supporting text or of the need to conserve and enhance the significance of the heritage assets (including any contribution made to that significance by setting). We suggest that the policy be amended to refer to these heritage assets and the need to conserve and enhance them and also to the need for appropriate landscaping
along the eastern edge of the site.
