Q13 response- Objective 4 decision making criteria 'have an adverse impact upon' wording should be replaced with 'cause harm to' and add a separate sentence 'Can any such harm be mitigated against?' 'SAM' should be amended to 'SM' in line with current terminology. It is not clear why Conservation Areas are included in the indicators for Objective 5 Townscape and landscape since they are heritage assets of national importance. If suggestions earlier in this response are taken on board it would be worth reviewing whether the CA's issue would fit better in the Objective 4 section.
