This refers to development in its widest sense, including buildings, and streets, spaces and places. It also refers to both redevelopment, including refurbishment, as well as new development.

proposals must demonstrate how they will meet the following requirements: 

  a. A positive, context-led approach should be taken in relation to the massing, style, and materials of new buildings to limit any negative impacts on the setting of the Grade II Listed Railway Station, the New Town and Glisson Road

Areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. You can find more information on the Councils’ websites:

, and other designated and non-designated heritage assets that are in the vicinity of the site; 

  b. Building height should be less than or similar to contemporary development built to the west of the Railway Station. The site is not appropriate for tall landmark buildings. New development should not negatively impact Strategic Viewpoint E Limekiln Road and the prominence of Foster’s Mill tower needs to be maintained; 

  c. 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.
