Historic Parks and Gardens
Policy BE7
Development which would adversely affect any part of a park or garden of special historic interest or its setting will not be permitted, unless exceptional circumstances indicate otherwise.
2.38 There are a number of parks and gardens in the Local Plan area which retain features such as walls, terracing and avenues of trees which form a part of planned arrangements of historic or architectural interest. These include those parks and gardens identified in the "Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England" prepared and currently being reviewed by English Heritage (see Appendix Four for a schedule of these sites). The Council will, when determining applications for development which affect these and other parks and gardens of interest, take into account any resultant impact on surviving features of historic value.
