Warwick Castle welcomes and supports the inclusion of a specific policy with regards to development at Warwick Castle.

Given that Warwick Castle is privately owned, all investment and maintenance costs are met by income. Warwick Castle requires a positive policy environment to clearly suppport its endeavors.

The NPPF (section 12) states that local planning authorities should set out in their Local Plan a positive strategy for the conservation and enjoyment of the historic environment including heritage assets.

Para. 137 goes on to state that LPA should look for opportunities for new development within Conservation Areas, World Heritage Sites and within the setting of heritage assets to enhance or better reveal their significance.Proposals that preserve those elements of the setting, that make a positive contribution to or better the significance of the asset should be treated favourably.

Policy CT7 could be split, including sub-paragraphs on the
Castle and Racecourse to explain what a masterplan should cover for each site. This would perhaps make the policy clearer and be consistent with the subsequent explanatory paragraphs.
