  • Site Area: 0.20 hectares. 
  • Capacity for approximately 29 sheltered accommodation units (gross) resulting in a net loss of 5 units from the existing 34 units onsite. 

1. proposals must demonstrate how they will meet the following requirements: 

  a. Design of buildings, in regard to height, massing and materials, must respond positively to the local character and setting, and ensure no unacceptable adverse impacts on Grade II Listed assets, including Christ Church, Buildings of Local Interest and the Kite as well as their respective settings; 

  b. Given the known archaeological assets in the area, development proposals must be accompanied by an appropriate archaeological assessment, which includes information on the significance of the heritage asset, including the extent, character and condition of the archaeological resource and the likely impact of the development on the archaeological remains. In the first instance archaeological investigation will be required via Desk Based Assessment. 

Supporting information

This 0.2 hectare site was previously used as sheltered accommodation. However, due to safety risks, the building is currently vacant. The policy seeks to bring forward a redevelopment of the site for new sheltered accommodation, developed to a higher standard than the existing building. 

Due to the sensitive historic context of the area, located within Kite and in close proximity to several Grade II Listed and Locally Listed Buildings the policy criteria requires that development will be carefully designed to ensure that heights, mass, materials and landscaping do not have unacceptable adverse impacts on these assets or their setting. 

Given the sensitive nature of the immediate area, it is anticipated that redevelopment of the site would result in an overall net loss of sheltered accommodation but re-provided to a higher standard than the existing building, supporting the needs, health and well- being of its future residents.
