Assessment Criteria for Development in Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes

Proposals affecting parks, gardens and demesnes of special historic interest must be assessed for impact on archaeological and botanical interest, design concept, trees and woodland, character features, and historic views.

In assessing proposals for development in or adjacent to parks, gardens and demesnes of special historic interest particular attention will be paid to the impact of the proposal on: the archaeological, historical or botanical interest of the site; the site's original design concept, overall quality and setting; trees and woodland and the site's contribution to local landscape character; any buildings or features of character within the site including boundary walls, pathways, garden terraces or water features; and planned historic views of or from the site or buildings within it.
