I read the documents, and viewed the plans, associated with this planning application - including Lathams' "Heritage Assessment". Stuart Mills' response fails to reassure me. I feel that it confirms my understanding of the planning application and the text that I submitted in my oblection : This site is an important part of our national industrial heritage and located within a conservation area. As such, unsympathetic maintenance and modification are not justification for demolition rather than restoration. The proposed development has no relevance to that heritage and is unsympathetic to the conservation area in which it is placed. - or have I misunderstood ? John Dyke
