Character Assessment

View Character Assessment

This provides a summary of the defining visual characteristics of the villages and areas of the town, including both positive and negative elements. The Assessment can help decide how future development might affect the character of an area and can assist in identifying opportunities to reinforce positive characteristics and mitigate any negative elements. It will inform policy to be set out in the Plan to support new development which contributes positively to the character of an area.

Local (non-designated) Heritage Assets

View Local Heritage Assets

This includes a list of sixty-nine buildings, structures and features which have local heritage significance but are not of sufficient merit to warrant designation as ‘Listed Buildings’, for example. The paper outlines the criteria used to assess each asset on a consistent basis and identifies the specific criteria which justify its inclusion on the list. Policy to be included in the Plan will support planning applications which recognise the historic importance of these assets.

Green Infrastructure

View Green Infrastructure

This maps the location of open space within Bourne town and the villages. It also identifies existing green infrastructure corridors within the town and key waterways within the parish. It assesses the qualities of each open space to articulate its importance to the local community. Policy to be included in the Plan will support the protection of these assets and seek opportunities, where possible, to improve their quality and extend the green infrastructure network.

We would welcome comments on the accuracy of the documents. You can also tell us, for example, about any important characteristics, buildings or open space within the town or villages that have not been included.
