Respondent: Historic England- West Midlands Region

Historic England acknowledges the SMBC Draft Masterplan which suggests how potential future development might respond to the affected heritage assets. It will be important that assumptions are underpinned by evidence and this is available to help interested parties consider whether the proposed response is appropriate.
Will be important for the Council to demonstrate that it has:
-taken sufficient account of the evidence base to avoid or minimise harm to the significance of the affected heritage assets
-attached great weight to the conservation of those assets and
-had due regard to the desirability of preserving the setting of those listed buildings
