Built Heritage. 11.8.2.1 Grave G1 is situated near the toll plaza, as shown in Figure 11.4b. The design of the toll plaza has been arranged so as to preserve the grave in-situ, with a minimum 1.0m permanent setback provided. With the 1.0m set back of the permanent structure, a minimum of 0.7m clearance from the grave can be maintained during construction. This will be achieved with the adoption of special precautionary measures for working adjacent to the grave, including the deployment of simple-to-erect formwork and falsework systems, the provision of construction access and the bulky components of the falsework support system being designed at locations away from the grave. The required construction clearance and the precautionary measures shall be stipulated in the construction specifications. The detailed design will be audited to ensure inclusion of the buffer zone and the implementation will be audited during construction of the toll plaza. The footpath connection from the adjacent Lung Mun Road to the grave will, also, be maintained during construction and reprovided after the works have been completed. No mitigation will be required during the operational phase.
11.8.2.2 Xxxxxx G2 (27.5m from the nearest works), G3 (17.5m from the nearest works), G4 (78.9m from the nearest works), G5 (74.8m from the nearest works) and shrine TH-1 (147.3m from the nearest works) are all situated at sufficient distances away and will not be adversely impacted by the project. Therefore, no mitigation measures are required for these resources.
Built Heritage. A desk-based study and a built heritage field survey have been conducted and revealed several heritage resources associated with the former Kai Tak Airport, which include two wind poles, the airport pier, Fire Station A, Fire Station B (and associated pier), Fire Station C, seawall and the runway, the Old Far East Flying Training School, Xxxx Xxxx Toi Inscription Rock, Fish Tail Rock, and Kowloon Rock. The heritage significance of the Old Far East Flying Training School and Fish Tail Rock are moderate. The heritage significance of the Xxxx Xxxx Toi Inscription Rock is high. The heritage significance of the other examined heritage resources are low. No mitigation is required for the examined heritage resources except appropriate protective measures for the structures within the site of Old Far East Flying Training School during any laying of services in its vicinity and protective measures for the Xxxx Xxxx Toi Inscription Rock in case of relocation.
Built Heritage. The proposed development responds positively to the townscape and would respect the setting of the emerging developments to the north and south, without appearing overly assertive or dominant. The tallest elements are positioned in the south of the site and are considered sufficiently distant from the Grade II listed Television Centre, preserving its setting. It is considered that the proposed development, would cause no harm to the character or appearance of the Wood Lane conservation area and setting of the nearby listed and locally listed buildings and nearby conservation areas in H&F. The proposed development would be visible from within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The impact of the proposal on the historic significance, visual amenity, character, appearance and setting of these assets, in particular Oxford Gardens/St Xxxxxxx Conservation Area; Grade I listed Kensal Green Park (Kensal Green Cemetery); and listed buildings in RBKC, is considered to be negligible. In coming to a view on the heritage impacts, officers have given due regard in any case, to the significant townscape, urban design and regeneration benefits of the proposals. The proposed development is therefore considered to be acceptable and would be in accordance with policies 7.4, 7.7 and 7.8 of the London Plan (2016), Local Plan policies WCRA, WCRA1, DC1, DC2, DC3 and DC8 and the Council's Planning Guidance Supplementary Planning Document 2018 and White City Opportunity Area Planning Framework (2013).
Built Heritage. The reclamation works and the subsequent development would not affect any built heritage directly. However, the only graded historic building known in the Study Area - Xxx Ancestral Hall in Tuk Xxx Xxxxx - may be affected by the large scale development within existing villages. It is recommended to retain the graded historic building onsite with sufficient buffer from the works.
Built Heritage. Where the Project affects Listed Buildings/Structures and Conservation Areas the Project shall be executed by the Contractor/subcontractor to ensure impact is minimised. Where appropriate, the Contractor/sub-contractor shall ensure that the necessary consents are obtained prior to work starting.
