Representation Summary:

Whilst there are no designated heritage assets on this site, the grade I listed church of All Saints and the grade II listed war memorial lie to the north of the site. However, the intervening trees provide an effective screen to the site. We suggest that additional planting along the northern boundary of the site would help to safeguard the setting of the church.
We welcome the preparation of the HIA. We welcome bullet points 1 and 2 of the policy. We suggest the addition of and words, ‘and enhance’ after conserve in the first bullet point to read: ‘to conserve and enhance the immediate setting…’ to more closely reflect the NPPF.

Change suggested by respondent:

In first bullet point add,
‘to conserve and enhance the immediate setting…’
