Planning Decisions
- Development of heritage assets and their settings should;
- be based on an analysis of their significance and the impact of proposals upon that significance.
- conserve the significance of the asset in question.
- protect and where appropriate restore original or historic fabric.
- enhance or better reveal the significance of assets.
- Development within or affecting the setting of Conservation Areas should;
- retain and enhance characteristic features and detailing and avoid the introduction of design and materials that undermine the significance of the conservation area.
- retain elements identified as contributing positively and seek to improve or replace elements identified as detracting from the Conservation Area.
- The significance of heritage assets should be understood and conserved when applying sustainable and inclusive design principles and measures.
- Harm to any heritage asset should be avoided. Proposals that seek to cause harm should be exceptional in relation to the significance of the asset, and be clearly and convincingly justified in line with national policy.
