Asiant : Mr Will Whitelock

Catesby Estates agree that a strategic policy to protect and enhance heritage assets should be included in the Part 1 plan, while detailed policies can wait for Part 2. The promotion site lacks any listed buildings or conservation areas and has undergone a Heritage Appraisal to assess development deliverability. The Long Itchington Conservation Area is nearby, but its historical features are largely masked by the landscape. The only visible structure, the Church of the Holy Trinity, does not have its setting affected by the Site, and development would not harm any designated heritage assets.

Catesby Estates agree that a strategic policy to protect and enhance heritage assets should be included in the Part 1 plan, with detailed policies deferred to Part 2. The promotion site is not near designated heritage assets, but a Heritage Appraisal has been conducted. It indicates that residential development in the northern area will not adversely affect the Grade II* Listed Church of St Nicholas. The appraisal also notes potential archaeological remains, including burials from the Grunthill Roman cemetery, which will be managed through an appropriate archaeological programme.

We need to conserve those villages that are in conservation areas with listed buildings. Part of the charm of these areas are that they reflect our past. Continually developing the landscape around it will slowly erode the character of what was designed to protect these areas.

I broadly agree with the approach set out. However the following sentence is too weak from a climate perspective: "Support sustainability initiatives for heritage assets to the extent practicable without undermining the significance of the heritage asset". The word "support" should be replaced by "strongly encourage".

I completely agree with preserving and protecting Heritage Assets and Historic Environment. It's extremely important these are not disturbed. Please seriously take into consideration the effect a huge increase in footfall will have on these. Whilst it can be seen that these proposed developments will increase interest, and potentially the local economy, it can also have a considerable negative impact. Specific areas such as Oakley Wood, Charlecote Park, and local churches should be heavily considered. An increase people can cause damage to the security and the physical environment of these areas.

The approach in Draft Policy Direction 27, which prioritises the preservation and enhancement of South Warwickshire's historic environment, aligns with the NPPF’s recognition of heritage assets as irreplaceable resources. Given the presence of listed buildings within new settlement C1 and nearby assets such as the Grade I Listed Baddesley Clinton, development proposals will be carefully designed to minimise harm in consideration of local and national heritage policies.

Yes, I agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction-27 Protecting and Enhancing Heritage Assets/ the Historic Environment. The policy provides a robust framework for preserving South Warwickshire's rich heritage, including iconic sites such as Kenilworth Castle. Protecting heritage assets like Kenilworth Castle, along with other key sites like those in SG04, ensures that the local character and cultural identity are maintained. The policy's emphasis on preventing substantial harm to these assets, while supporting sustainable and appropriate uses, aligns well with the need to preserve significant historical and architectural landmarks for future generations.

Historic Parks & Gardens have a role in growing the economy, meeting the challenges of climate change, supporting social cohesion by helping build communities and offering places to exercise and enjoy fresh air.

This draft policy sets out requirements for development proposals that affect heritage assets. We strongly object to the wording of this draft policy owing to its inconsistency with the Framework.
The draft policy relating to significance of heritage assets and justification of harm is inconsistent with paragraphs 205 – 214 of the Framework which contain a much more nuanced approach, reflecting the magnitude of harm and setting out appropriate justification in each case. The inconsistency with the Framework not only renders the draft policy unsound but would, if adopted in its current form, present challenges for accurate and consistent decision making.
The Framework states that ‘Where a development proposal will lead to less than substantial harm to the significance of a designated heritage asset, this harm should be weighed against the public benefits of the proposal including, where appropriate, securing its optimum viable use’. In so doing it recognises that harm can be outweighed.
The first bullet point of DPD27 however states that ‘a strategic historic environment policy will … preserve and enhance the historic environment (including its setting) for its inherent value, and for the enjoyment of residents and visitors’.‘Preserve and enhance’ is a binary test where any harm would be render the application proposals in conflict with the policy. The Framework, however, seeks to balance harm against public benefits, even in circumstances where substantial harm will occur. For this reason, the current wording of draft DPD27 is unsound and must be revised in line with national policy.

When considering the relevant factors in relation to the future development of both Meon Vale and Long Marston Airfield, regard should be given to the proximity of Meon Hill which is an Iron Age Hillfort for which AONB status was accorded in 1990. It is therefore a designated heritage asset. Views to and from Meon Hill are significant factors to be considered in relation to its setting, and I would suggest that the greater the proposed developments for the two above locations, the more harm will be caused to the setting.

A housing estate on the areas near to Kenilworth Castle, which is a major tourist attraction for the town, should not be allowed. The development would be on top of Rounds Hill and would be clearly visible from the Castle, significantly impacting the setting of the Castle by destroying the view and its setting in the countryside. There are extensive groundwork remains (e.g. the Pleasance, earthwalls surrounding the old deer park) and any housing development would destroy these and any other historical remains in the area.

Draft Policy Direction 27 prioritises the protection of heritage assets, ensuring development conserves their significance. SG18 is a stronger option than SG19 as it has fewer direct or indirect heritage impacts, while SG19 will trigger significant infrastructure upgrades, including modifications to Clopton Bridge which would risk its historic integrity.
