Development Management Plan Consultation Document 3rd February - 27th April 2012

The convent and its grounds, both north and south, should be designated as private open space. The 2004 Local Plan describes the convent and its grounds as 'the major elements of the conservation area'. They are a shamefully unrealised jewel in the Boroughs architectural crown.
