Respondent: Historic England

Site allocations: Historic England advocates a wide definition of the historic environment which includes not only those areas and buildings with statutory designated protection but also those which are locally valued and important, as well as the landscape and townscape components of the historic environment. At an early stage when assessing site allocations it is important to include the impact on heritage assets. See advice note 3. If a site is allocated, we would expect to see reference to the need to conserve and seek opportunities to enhance the on-site or nearby heritage assets and their setting.
