a clear requirement for a Heritage Assessment should be included within the council's heritage policy in order to fully understand the significance of the asset and any changes impacting on it.

Ipswich has a rich history; it has some of the finest buildings in the country and I am not referring to some of the so called high spec buildings built since the 60s. It's time to shout about our history and build on it. We are not a London over spill. Suffolk is built on hard work and graft it is not based on pie in the sky. The town should serve the county. It would be great to see both the council and the county council work together to keep Ipswich together.

Please refer to comments on DM8 above where greater emphasis is given to security in order to protect heritage assets as risk of damage through criminal behaviour. Also to ensure anyone living or working in such buildings is afforded the flexibility on security to ensure that inhabiting the building is viable, to prevent empty buildings which often then become a target for criminal and anti-social behaviour.

Ideally the strategy should offer a strategic overview including overarching heritage policies to deliver the conservation and enhancement of the environment. A good strategy will offer a positive holistic approach throughout the whole plan whereby the historic environment is considered not just as a stand-alone topic but as an integral part of every aspect of the plan. It will also be spatially specific, unique to the area, describing the local characteristics of the borough and responding accordingly with policies that address the local situation. See original for comments on the approach to site-specific policies also.

Policies should identify a means of ensuring that development protects and provides for enhancement of heritage assets, both on-site and cumulatively, at a strategic level, with integration into master planning and briefs and strategies for 'quarters' or 'opportunity areas'. The plan should clearly set out strategic and development management policies that ensure that the local and national/international significance of heritage assets can be understood in decision-making processes. The plan should have Development Management policies relating to different types of heritage asset (both built and below ground). The policy framework should be set out in such a way as to link heritage assets to the different objectives they support, and consideration of the historic environment should be integrated through the plan.

Great questions - so we pay NO heed really to the strength of the heritage - maybe a stronger trail? Arts / murals - to support this (look to the mission or other areas in san fran to see how tourists love a good bit of street art! I was in east London Saturday and saw 7 groups of TOURS of street art1) could be celebrate our writers, artists, merchants in a more innovative way?)
