The provision of a built heritage policy is strongly welcomed, however it should be clearly strategic as emphasized by paragraph 156 of the NPPF. Without clarification in the Local Plan that the policy is strategic, the policy would not be considered to be sound.
Supporting text 8.1.12/13 should be shortened and amended to reflect the NPPF. By definition within the NPPF, enabling development is development that is not otherwise in accordance with adopted policy.
The provision of a built heritage policy is strongly welcomed, however it should be clearly strategic as emphasized by paragraph 156 of the NPPF, which requires that local plans should include strategic policies to deliver conservation and enhancement of the historic environment. Without clarification in the Local Plan that the policy is strategic, the policy would not be considered to be sound.
Supporting text 8.1.12/13 should be shortened and amended to reflect the NPPF. By definition within the NPPF, enabling development is development that is not otherwise in accordance with adopted policy. Paragraph 140 of the NPPF states:-
"Local planning authorities should assess whether the benefits of a proposal for enabling development, which would otherwise conflict with planning policies but which would secure the future conservation of a heritage asset, outweigh the disbenefits of departing from those policies."
