As with the vision, we believe that the revised Core Strategy needs to be mindful of the requirements of the NPPF and that the objectives should help contribute towards a positive strategy for the historic environment. While Objective 8 refers to historic buildings and landscape character, this does not incorporate all elements of the historic environment, such as archaeology and townscape character, nor does it refer to the need to seek enhancements to the historic environment.
