DM8 We welcome the amendments to Policy DM8 and the supporting text as set out, as documented in our Statement of Common Ground. Subject to our general point above, we note a typographical error in paragraph 9.71 where the National Planning Practice Guidance has a lower case 'n'. In respect of paragraph 9.72 we would recommend the same amendments to the changes proposed above: "Decisions about proposed development which would harm the significance of a heritage asset will be taken having regard to the NPPF." This is to ensure that all relevant paragraphs of the NPPF are taken into account, including paragraph 135 relating to non-designated heritage assets. We also would note that the requirements in paragraph 133 in particular are not a 'balancing exercise' but specify that the public benefits have to be substantial and outweigh the harm or loss.
