Abstract: |
The following actions were undertaken to gather the baseline and establish the potential heritage resource:
- An examination of the Historic England National Heritage List for England (NHLE) listing for the water tower at Flaybrick reservoir (NHLE: 1201596);
- An examination of local, regional and national planning policies in relation to the historic environment;
- An inspection of the cartographic evidence for the land use history of the site; and
- A search of published and non-published resources relating to the scheme area. This Heritage Statement considers the heritage significance of the Grade II listed water tower and the impact of the proposed development on this designated asset.
The pipeline is located outside of the listed building and the only work likely to impact the fabric of the building is the fixing of the pipeline to the retaining wall. As previously mentioned, the effects of this have been mitigated through attaching the brackets supporting the pipe into the mortar joints of the wall. The retaining wall is an ancillary functional structure. The proposals will not change this character, nor will they detract from the relationship between the water tower and the retaining wall. Therefore, the proposal will result in no harm to the significance of the asset.
It is considered that as much of the pipeline is underground or obscured from view between the water tower and the stores building and will be seen in the context of a working reservoir site, it will not impact the wider landmark, communal interest of the listed building. Therefore, the scheme will not harm the contribution the setting makes to the significance of the water tower.
It is considered that the proposed development will not result in a change in the ability to understand the significance of the water tower. Following an assessment of the significance of the listed building in accordance with the NPPF and Historic England GPA2 and GPA3, the proposed development will cause no harm to the significance of the water tower including the contribution setting makes to significance. |
