Barbourne and Kepax 3. Pitchcroft 4. Quayside 5. Chapter Meadows 6. Diglis Island 7. Cherry Orchard and the Ketch 8. Teme Meadows and Powick Mills Appendix 1 – Historic Mapping Appendix 2 – Designations Appendix 3 – Links to Further Information 2 Introduction The River Severn is an extremely important feature in Worcester. It is the reason for the city’s existence, has historic importance as a means of transportation and today is a significant recreational and amenity facility. The Riverside Conservation Area was first designated on 8th September 1992 and boundary amendments were previously made on 13th June 2000. View of the cathedral from Diglis A conservation area is defined in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. This appraisal is in line with sections 69 and 71 of the 1990 Act, which places a duty on the local authority to designate and manage their conservation areas. Designation helps to ensure that an area identified for its special interest and significance is protected and managed appropriately. 3 Conservation is the management of change to a significant place or asset, in a way that will best sustain its heritage values, while recognising opportunities to reveal or reinforce those values for present and future generations. The conservation area appraisal is a means of identifying and assessing what the special architectural or historic interest of an area is, how this contributes to the areas character and appearance, and is an opportunity to identify where this can be enhanced.

St Philips has submitted representations to the Issues and Options stage of the South Staffordshire Local Plan Review (Appendix 2) and a copy of a Vision Document showing how the site at Bratch Common Road could be developed is enclosed for information (Appendix 3). The representations are structured to respond to the questions set out on the online consultation response form. They also make specific reference to the tests of soundness for plan-making set out at para 35 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Specifically, these representations seek to test the proposed Spatial Housing Options in terms of whether they are: “a) Positively prepared – providing a strategy which, as a minimum, seeks to meet the area’s objectively assessed needs; and is informed by agreements with other authorities, so that unmet need from neighbouring areas is accommodated where it is practical to do so and is consistent with achieving sustainable development; b) Justified – an appropriate strategy, taking into account the reasonable alternatives, and based on proportionate evidence; c) Effective – deliverable over the plan period, and based
