The development constraints mention the adjoining conservation area and archaeology issues, but do not refer to the Grade II listed Church of Holy Trinity to the south. However, while the wording explains the implications for development in terms of archaeological matters, there is no explanation of the implications for development in terms of the conservation area and listed building. The lack of clarity could affect proposals for this site. Other sites are clearer in terms of such matters (e.g. IP005).

As currently drafted, we consider the plan to be unsound as the site sheet is not effective or consistent with national policy. Paragraph 157 of the NPPF requires Local Plans to provide adequate detail with site allocations (fifth bullet), with the Planning Practice Guidance providing further emphasis (PPG Reference ID: 12-010-20140306 (last revised 06/03/2014). Conservation of the historic environment is a core planning principle (Paragraph 17) and Local Plans should set out a positive strategy in this respect (Paragraph 126).

This document allocates land at the University (site IP258) for additional primary school provision. Site IP258 is not deliverable for the purposes of Policy CS15 or for mitigating the impact of Town Centre Housing sites. The County Council is considering other options for making suitable primary school provision for demand arising from the Town Centre and intends to have identified another deliverable option by the time of the examination.
