"The bridge has been assessed to be of significance and as such is considered a non- designated heritage asset under the National Planning Policy Framework. The principal significance of the structure is drawn from its architectural interest and the fact that it has been subject to little or no alteration, making it an exemplar example of this phase in the typology. The bridge walls, whilst functional, are considered to be of artistic interest. These, together with the granite-capped piers, clearly show the intent of the Council to construct a bridge that is of some artistic merit and not purely utilitarian in its design".
