Summary

A Heritage Impact Assessment for Meridian House, Royal Hill, Greenwich, concludes that proposed telecommunications antennae installations will have minimal visual impact on the surrounding World Heritage Site and designated heritage assets. The study finds that while the Clock Tower of Meridian House—a Grade II-listed Art Deco landmark—holds high significance as a 1930s civic complex, its setting within Maritime Greenwich and Greenwich Park (a Conservation Area) will experience only slight changes due to the lightweight, camouflaged design of the equipment. Similarly, impacts on nearby Grade I-listed Flamsteed House and the Church of St Alfege are deemed negligible, preserving key views from riverside and park vantage points. The assessment cross-references asset significance with impact magnitude, confirming that the proposed works will not compromise the integrity of these internationally important heritage sites.
