Where they stand
✗Objects to EXMO20Historic England said in both consultations that the allocation is unsound in its current form because of harm to the setting of St John in the Wilderness church, and asked for development and access to be kept to the south.
Development could result in considerable harm to the setting of this building, which the NPPF identifies as an asset of the highest significanceHistoric England response to the first Regulation 19 consultation · 2025-03-30
Consequently, in its current form we consider Exmo_20 fails the NPPF tests of soundness as it is unjustified and inconsistent with national policyHistoric England response to the first Regulation 19 consultation · 2025-03-30
we are nevertheless concerned that a swathe of land north and east of the church is included in the proposed site allocation.Historic England response to the second Regulation 19 consultation · 2026-01-23
