Dear Dave,
Some of our districts have sought to conserve burgage plots through re-defining village development limits, Conservation Area designation, or allocation of urban open spaces. Village Design Statements, generated at grass-roots level, can protect plots. Also, some Local Plans have policies specifically protecting wynds, ginnels, and boundary features so if your burgage plots have locally distinctive boundaries or the boundaries contribute to the historic character of a place, then they can be protected. This doesn't stop development, but does contain its scale and massing so as to be sympathetic to the burgage plot grain.
Cheers,
Neil

We appear to be getting an increasing number of applications for new
build in the back lands of burgage plots. Does any one have any
supporting evidence to resist such development, I vaguely remember some
attempt to schedule some, although I don't think this would work in the
particular cases I am concerned with.
Thank you
