Taylor Wimpey broadly supports the objectives set out in the Plan in relation to the historic environment.
We have concerns about elements of the Plan which do not align with the statutory duties, under S16(2), S66(1) and S72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 or the Chapter 16 of the NPPF.
The NPPF requires that great weight be given to the conservation of designated heritage assets (paragraph 212)
We suggest re-wording the first bullet point: “Preserve or enhance the historic environment (including its setting) for its inherent value, and for the enjoyment of residents and visitors.”
We encourage the re-wording of this bullet point to reflect and be consistent with the statutory duties and the NPPF.
Bullet point 5 – the word ‘undermine’ which is not found in the statutory or policy framework should be replaced with ‘harm to’.
Heritage assets at risk should also be included in a separate bullet point.
