Written question asked by Lord Patten (Conservative) on Wednesday, 5 November 2025, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 19 November 2025. It was answered by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage (Labour) on Monday, 17 November 2025 on behalf of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.


Planning: Salisbury

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage on 3 November (HL11277), whether the gardens of Leaden Hall fall within the description as part of a nationally significant setting to be protected as defined by the National Planning Policy Framework.

Answer

As set out in the definition of ‘the setting of a heritage asset’ in the National Planning Policy Framework, its extent is not fixed and may change as the asset and its surroundings evolve. It is therefore for the decision maker to decide what the setting of a particular heritage asset is when considering a relevant planning application.
