BE1: Built Heritage

Any new development or other proposals should preserve and, where possible, enhance the essential characteristic of the Parish including, where relevant, the settings and views of listed buildings and of the Conservation Area.

Non-designated heritage assets as listed below, and shown on maps 6 and 7 accompanying this neighbourhood Plan, are considered to be of local architectural significance, of distinctive character and/or of historic importance. Proposals which preserve or enhance these assets will be supported. Where proposals have an effect on a non-designated heritage asset, a balanced judgement will be applied having regard to the scale of any harm or loss and the significance of the heritage asset.
