Abstract:		 A number of resources were consulted in the production of this heritage statement, including: ● The Suffolk Historic Environment Record (HER) as available via the Suffolk Heritage Explorer, managed by Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service (via heritage.suffolk.co.uk); ● The National Heritage List for England (NHLE), as managed by Historic England (via historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list). Including records of scheduled monuments, listed buildings, and registered parks and gardens; ● Local, regional and national planning policies relating to the historic environment. This includes conservation area appraisals and management plans; ● An examination of historic cartographic evidence for land use of the site; and ● An assessment of available relevant online historical sources. The proposed scheme will benefit and enhance the heritage significance of Saxmundham Station building. Minimal evidential value will be lost to the redevelopment, comprising of the loss of one window and minimal demolition of the north-eastern exterior wall, necessary to create a new courtyard. However the retention of the majority of the remaining historic fabric, refurbishment of features such as the brickwork and sensitive design which mirrors original design features such as the windows and canopies will outweigh these to have an overall positive effect on the building. Using the building for railway purposes will not only ensure a sustainable and viable use of the asset in accordance with local and national policy, but will also enhance the historical and communal value of the asset as it will return to its original and intended use. The proposed scheme would have either a positive or neutral effect on the surrounding heritage assets. The proposed works would have a positive effect on Saxmundham conservation area, the grade II listed 1-15 Albion Street, The Bell Hotel, Old Bank House and Market Hall and the non-designated the Railway Public House, Police Station and Park End Terrace. The sensitive restoration will contribute positively to the mid-19th century character of the immediately surrounding conservation area, and will enhance the important view identified in the conservation area appraisal. The continued use of the station for its intended purpose aids in understanding the relationship between historic buildings within the town centre. 1-15 Albion Street will benefit most from this effect, due to its proximity to the station, and the non-designated Railway Public House will receive similar advantage. There are no anticipated impacts on all other designated and non-designated assets, including those identified within the HER, as a result of the proposed works.
