Representation Summary:

Policy DM6:

We maintain that a comprehensive and thoroughly modelled policy is required, as well as a general policy approach on the identification of strategic views. Part (j) of the policy helpfully refers to conservation areas, but it would be strengthened by reference to listed buildings and other heritage assets.
