The modification to Policy CS4 (Protecting our Assets) seeks to widen the scope of the protection that the policy offers to heritage assets by making specific reference to the maintenance of a list of buildings and other heritage assets of local importance, and taking steps to reduce the number of heritage assets at risk. Whilst the intentions of the Council to safeguard the historic environment are acknowledged and supported in principle, the modifications could place additional unnecessary restrictions upon development, particularly in relation to sites which are categorised as undesignated heritage assets.
