We strongly encourage provision for the historic environment throughout the plan, not solely within heritage focused policies. We particularly seek a specific requirement for consideration of the historic environment within the design policies of the local plan which should seek to draw on opportunities offered by the historic environment and reflect local character and distinctiveness. This should not stymie contemporary development but should require an appreciation of the significance and character of the historic environment in producing a high standard of design. We would also welcome this in relation to tall buildings policy that may come forward in the plan.
