Catesby Estates agree that a high-level strategic policy that seeks to protect and enhance existing heritage assets should be included within the Part 1 plan, in accordance with Paragraph 203 of the Framework. Detailed heritage policies should be deferred to Part 2.
The Site is not adjacent to any designated heritage assets. A Heritage Appraisal has been undertaken to inform the Concept Masterplan and Vision Document for Land South of Allimore Lane, Alcester. The deliverability of development on the site with reference to the historic environment constraints has been assessed.
There are distant views towards the Grade II* Listed Church of St Nicholas, located within the Alcester Conservation Area, from the eastern area of the Site. Currently, it is anticipated that this area of the site would remain as open space. The Heritage Appraisal considers that residential development in the northern area of the Site would not adversely impact the Church of St Nicholas or any other designated heritage assets.
An initial review of the archaeological resource has also been undertaken. Allimore Lane, which bounds the Site to the north, follows the route of The Saltway Roman road. Grunthill Roman cemetery is recorded to the east of the Site. The full extent of the cemetery is not known. The Heritage Appraisal considers there is potential for burials to have extended into the Site, particularly at the south east, and it is anticipated that this area will be proposed as Public Open Space. There is also potential for prehistoric and Roman period archaeological remains to be present elsewhere within the Site. However, it is anticipated these would be addressed by an appropriate programme of archaeological works.
