  • Pdf Broadwas & Cotheridge
    Broadwas and Cotheridge Neighbourhood Development Plan Background Paper No. 3 – Built Heritage. Background The Parish Council (for both Broadwas and Cotheridge) have resolved to prepare a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP). The current list of Heritage Assets (i.e. listed buildings and structures as recorded by Historic England) is shown as a schedule in Appendix 2 of the NDP. The schedule lists a total of 16 entries in Broadwas and 10 in Cotheridge. They are almost all Grade II listed, the exceptions are the five grade II* listed buildings thus: Broadwas: Butts Farmhouse, Butts Bank Stone Farmhouse and Hop Kiln, Bromyard Road St Mary Magdalene Church Cotheridge: St Leonard’s Church Cotheridge Court, Church Lane. There are no Scheduled Ancient Monuments in the NDP area. Listed buildings are very well protected from development pressures by national legislation, the relevant polices in the National Planning Policy Framework and the relevant policies in the adopted South Worcestershire Development Plan. Of all the listed entries only two, in Broadwas, are within a Development Boundary: Brook Farmhouse and Ivy House. All the other listed buildings are in Open Countryside, which further reduces development pressures which might affect them and their settings. In the light of the protection these Historic Assets have in current planning legislation and policies there is no need for this NDP to put forward additional policies for listed buildings. However, it is notable that there is no Conservation Area in either Broadwas or Cotheridge. Historic England has published an Advice Note 1 on the Designation, Appraisal and Management 1 of Conservation Areas where it suggests that “Local communities working on neighbourhood plans may identify areas which have a special interest to them ...” and, in that context, the Steering Group for the NDP has given consideration to the potential for a conservation area designation in the NDP area.
