Policy information sourced from Sandridge Parish Council Neighbourhood Plan
E5 Heritage Assets
Development, which affects the character or appearance of the conservation area or listed buildings and their setting or identified valued significant views and buildings will be judged against the following criteria:
- Proposals for development affecting a listed building and/or within the conservation area and its setting must preserve or enhance the local character and distinctiveness of the conservation area.
- Development must maintain the local character of landscape and not cause reduction or loss of views within and/or around heritage assets as detailed in the Conservation Area Area statement for Sandridge.
- There is a presumption in favour of retaining traditional and discreet signs and features, and the overall context of the street-scene must be preserved. Aerials, new signs, street furniture and public utilities (such as telephone junction boxes and masts) should be sited discreetly.
- All development must allow for the investigation, recording and preservation of archaeological remains.
