Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 1898
Received: 24/10/2013
Respondent: Historic England
Representation Summary:
We welcome the references to new development being sympathetic to its context and local distinctiveness. The NPPF makes links to the historic environment and new design, and it would be suitable to refer more explicitly to this relationship in the policy, and the supporting text. For instance, the NPPF states that planning policies should ensure that new developments respond to local character and history (para 58), and 'should address the connections between people and places and the integration of new development into the natural, built and historic environment' (para 61).
