New searchWe are disappointed that there is no reference within the vision to Southbourne's historic environment and numerous heritage assets. In view of the general comments above, we believe this is a weakness of the approach to planning the site in that the heritage significance of the proposed locations for development (both actual and potential) is not identified as a key characteristic of the area that may be impacted by allocation of land for development.

In Scenario 2: Land to the East option there is potential to impact on two designated heritage assets (Thatchways and Loveders Farm, both grade II Listed Buildings) and their settings. This 'challenge' should be recognised within the policy.

In Scenario 3: Mixed Scenario, which to some extent mirrors Scenario 2, there is potential to impact on two designated heritage assets (Thatchways and Loveders Farm, both grade II Listed Buildings) and their settings. This 'challenge' should be recognised within the policy.

While Historic England would not wish to rank options, it is likely that Option 1 would have least direct impact on designated heritage assets. Without the support of a robust historic environment evidence base, however, it is not possible to ascertain the scope of potential impacts on the full range of heritage assets (as indicated in the General Comments above). While it is possible that such effects appropriately may be assessed within the Sustainability Appraisal it is necessary for the DPD to be found sound that the outcome of such assessment is reflected in the policies and supporting text. Summary In conclusion, in the view of Historic England the draft Southbourne Allocation Development Plan Document is deficient in its understanding of the significances of the historic environment; fails to identify potential impacts of the development options on designated heritage assets (in Scenario 2 and Scenario 3); and, as currently drafted lacks the evidence and appropriate assessment of historic character and heritage significance to underpin a sound plan.
