Policy HC1 does not reflect the guidance contained in the Framework. Paragraphs 132 to 134 of the Framework relate specifically to designated heritage assets and highlight that the more important the asset the greater the weight that should be attached to it. The policies in the Local Plan therefore need to make such a distinction so as to ensure they are consistent with the Framework. Policy should distinguish between the two tests included in the Framework for designated heritage assets to ensure it is sound. Policy should also reflect NPPF para. 135 re: non-designated heritage assets to ensure soundness.
