Representation Summary:

This policy would benefit from consideration of heritage as a component of landscape. Additionally, how is the historic environment being protected and conserved through this policy and ensuring a positive strategy for the historic environment?

Previous comments still stand.
We would request a reference to heritage landscapes within this policy and the recognition that design, landscaping, planting and restoration principles should be appropriate to the historic landscape that they are in and the setting of heritage assets, where appropriate. We are pleased to see reference to landscape character appraisal evidence that the Councils already have.

Representation Summary:

Clause 2 is a useful starting point and should be clear that applications which cause harm to the significance of heritage assets will not be supported. Harm should be avoided/ mitigated and then the tests of public benefits apply. The wording needs amending to reflect this hierarchical approach.

Representation Summary:

Consider re-wording of clause 3 e) what is specifically meant here? Mitigation measures should be identified that can overcome the harm to the significance of the heritage asset, including its setting. These mitigation measures should be informed by assessment and then included as planning conditions on the application.

Representation Summary:

Additional points to include within the policy:
• There is no reference to the potential need for archaeological evaluation and assessment or how impacts for different types of heritage assets may be considered.
• We would also recommend design considerations being included to protect heritage assets.
• Where there is harm to heritage assets, resulting in the loss of heritage this should be recorded and as a minimum recorded on the Historic Environment Record.
• Any assessments should be undertaken by an appropriate and qualified professional.
• A clause setting out the potential for enhancement measures would be welcome.
