National Guidance PPS 5 - Planning for the Historic Environment Guildford Borough Local Plan 2003 (as saved by CLG Direction 24 September 2007): HE9 Demolition in Conservation Areas Planning considerations. The main planning considerations in this case is: The impact on the character and appearance of this site with its listed building within the conservation area Relevant guidance is set out in policy HE9 of the Local Plan, which states that development which involves demolition of a building in a conservation area will only be permitted where:-. The existing buildings make little or no contribution to the character or appearance of the area, or 2. Its potential for repair, retention and beneficial use is limited; and 3. Approval has been granted for a replacement scheme with an agreed timetable. In this case the related planning application for redevelopment is set out elsewhere on this agenda (application /P/0026). In consideration of criteria of policy HE9 no objection is seen to the loss of this house of no particular merit, although it sits fairly unobtrusively within its setting. The significance of the property is that it is a designated heritage asset by virtue of being within the Town Centre Conservation Area, as well as in the setting of the River Wey Navigation Conservation Area, and the setting of the grade II listed Old River Cottage. As reported elsewhere on this agenda, the related planning application for redevelopment is being recommended for approval. Subject to the imposition of a condition on this Conservation Area Consent to meet criteria 3 in terms of implementation timescale, no objection is seen to this proposal. The small outbuildings are also of little merit and their removal is acceptable. RECOMMENDATION: 2
