EN4 - Heritage Assets
Proposals that affect a Heritage Asset, or its setting, will be permitted where the development conserves or enhances the character, appearance and setting of the asset.
Applications will be assessed with reference to the following:
- the historic and/or architectural significance of the asset;
- the prominence of its location and setting; and
- the historic and/or architectural significance of any elements to be lost or replaced.
Where the application is located within, or would affect, an area or suspected area of archaeological importance an archaeological assessment must be provided to ensure that provision is made for the preservation of important archaeological remains/findings. Preference will be given to preservation in situ unless it can be shown that recording of remains, assessment, analysis report and deposition of archive is more appropriate.
