The setting of the Grade 1 listed Grimshaw Hall opposite the
site to its east must be carefully considered and preserved.
Development should avoid encroaching upon the setting, and
if it does so, exceptional design and quality together with full
regard for context would be necessary and expected.
Development must also have regard to potential flood risk areas.
