Assessment of Development in or Adjacent to Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes

In assessing applications for development in or adjacent to historic parks, gardens and demesnes, particular account should be taken of the impact of the proposal on the archaeological, historical or botanical interest of the site. The integrity and overall quality and setting of the site including its original design concept and other associated features, including contribution to local landscape character, should where possible be maintained. In cases where approval is to be granted, the planning authority should seek to ensure the accurate recording of distinctive features that will be lost as a result of the development, by way of planning conditions.
