Respondent: Historic England

112 dwellings - potential impacts upon Harlaxton CA to south, Harlaxton Manor Grade II* RPAG to south east. A detailed HIA will be required to inform the allocation. Harlaxton Manor is positioned on rising ground and faces northwest towards the village and this raised position connects views to the spire of St Mary the Virgin's Church at Bottesford from within the registered park and garden. The housing allocation is on this line of sight. The impact of any proposal on the registered park and garden in relation to the very important long views to the church spire from key locations, within the registered park and garden, from within garden buildings and structures and from inside upper floors of the manor need to be considered within the HIA. If the site is found to be suitable to take forward to allocation following detailed assessment, amendments will be required to criteria f). Our response dated 30 April 2025 to S25/0558 may be of assistance when preparing the assessment.

Suggested change: If suitable to be taken forward for allocation following detailed assessment, amendments to criteria f) may be required on which HE would be happy to assist.
