Emerging Policy DM8: Heritage Assets and Conservation replicates adopted Policy DM8, but also combines the archaeology element of adopted Policy DM9: Buildings of Townscape Interest. Emerging Policy DM8 at part b. Conservation Areas, states that the position, height, mass and materials of a proposed building shall pay regard to the character of adjoining buildings and the area as a whole. Whilst we do not object to this policy, the weight that should be attached to the character of buildings should be proportionate to their status and this should be reflected in the policy wording to ensure that it is 'justified'.
