The scale and location of development would affect (to varying degrees) the setting of a number of important heritage assets. There are also numerous designated heritage assets within proximity to the site. It is important that the direct and indirect impact on these assets and their setting are considered at this strategic plan making stage in accordance with the NPPF (para158).
The draft Local Area Plan (Draft 2014) for this nationally significant development area provided a welcome commitment to ensuring that heritage assets are protected and enhanced. It would be helpful to include a similar commitment in the local plan.
