Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Historic England- West Midlands Region

Representation Summary:

Noted that the relative suitability of a site will be judged against whether harm to the historic environment can be mitigated.
Would be helpful for the Council to confirm that the above accords with the need to:
-Take sufficient account of the evidence base to avoid or minimise harm to the significance of heritage assets (NPPF para 190)
-Attach great weight to the conservation of effected heritage assets (NPPF para.193), and
-Have had due regard to the desirability of preserving the setting of effected listed buildings in accordance with S66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act, 1990.
