Representation ID: 31342

Received: 12/10/2016

Respondent: Historic England

Representation Summary:

General Comments rather than support or object as required to choose through online response.

We are encouraged to note that you have included some listed and locally listed buildings within the map entitled Figure 1: Mitcham's Corner Opportunity Area designated within the emerging Local Plan. We appreciate that you have not included all of the listed and locally listed buildings within the wider area but request that, as a minimum, the cluster of listed buildings forming Jesus College is identified on this map. Jesus Green forms the southern bank of the River Cam opposite the opportunity area and the significance of this open space should be clearly linked to the setting of the college. The relationship between Jesus College and the development within the opportunity area will need to be considered as part of any subsequent applications for development and this should be reflected within the SPD.

We are pleased to note that the preservation and enhancement of the historic environment is reflected in the vision statement and that this is recognised as an opportunity to promote positive change.
