Protecting and Enhancing Heritage Assets/ the Historic Environment – As set out above, the National Trust care for many valuable heritage assets across the South Warwickshire area. we are pleased that the Local Plan acknowledges that these all contribute to the sense of place that is valued by those who live, work and visit the area. We agree that it is important

that these heritage assets are preserved and where possible enhanced so that residents, and visitors can continue to enjoy their inherent value.
The National Trust are supportive of draft policy direction 27, particularly in respect of the support provided towards proposals that positively and proactively, conserve and enhance the historic environment, including proposals to safeguard assets and supporting appropriate, viable and sustainable uses that conserve their significance.
The places we care for are very special and often their setting makes a considerable contribution towards the heritage asset. We are therefore pleased that the policy will seek to prevent development if it results in substantial harm to or total loss of the significance of a designated heritage asset, unless it is demonstrated that the substantial harm or loss is necessary to achieve substantial public benefits that outweigh that harm or loss
