Respondent: Historic England

This area contains a listed building and is situated near to other listed buildings (e.g. the Willis Building) and the Central Conservation Area. There may also be archaeology issues, with the area of archaeological importance covering part of the opportunity area. We welcome the additional reference to the historic environment as a development principle.

The Jewson site (IP028b/UC029) should be allocated as a development site and the frontage along this site highlighted as an area for improved public realm/pedestrian links. Its allocation [to meet the scale and type of retail and leisure development needed in town centres] would help meet the shortfall in sites against the identified needs. The site was identified as a development site within Opportunity Area G (now F) at Preferred Options stage. L&G understand that the owners indicated that it would not come forward for redevelopment. However, L&G acquired the site in 2009 and the site will now become available.

The Opportunity Area guidance in Part C is inconsistent with the assumptions and content of site specific allocations in Policies SP2, SP3, SP5, and Tables 1-3. In Opportunity Area F, River Corridor, the Development Opportunity identified is for office -led, mixed use with leisure and car parking. Under SP3, Site IP047 which lies within this Opportunity Area is allocated for residential-led mixed uses.
It is not clear which content will take precedence.

River and Princes Street Corridor (P74) - we have previously resisted comprehensive retail development on part of this site. We continue to do so and are pleased that this has been dropped in the new plan. We consider there to be potential on the waterfront element for residential development. We fully support new office development in Princes Street.
