Draft Core Strategy and Policies Focused Review

Representation ID: 209

Received: 10/03/2014

Respondent: Historic England

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

We note the intention to incorporate the IP-One area into the Site Allocations DPD. This area contains the greatest concentration of heritage assets within the town (both designated and non-designated) and is a location that requires both conservation and change. Part (f) of Policy CS3 requires the AAP to have policies relating to conservation areas, although this should be extended to cover other heritage asset types. Given Part (f), it is disappointing that the draft IP-One AAP in the Site Allocations DPD makes little reference to conservation areas or any other element of the historic environment.
