An Enabling development involving substantial new build on this site is not appropriate. This site contains a uniqu group of heritage assets that should not be allocated for new housing. The convent are major elements of a conservation area (as identified in the 2004 Local Plan) they have potential as assets for heritage led regeneration. This area should be designated Private Open Space. The Designation as Private Open Space would not preclude an Enabling Development if it was shown to a last resort and followed English Heritage Guidance.

An enabling development is stated to be as a last resort, however, the stated USE above is for an enabling development. This suggests that the statement "as a last resort" is not strictly being adhered to and could be used as a loop hole for uneccessary and inappropriate over-development. A clearer, tighter definition of what would consitute "Public benefit" would need to be defined, in order for that not be abused.
