This strategic policy should encourage the enhancement of the ability to appreciate heritage assets where appropriate, in line with NPPF para.126, namely:

'Local planning authorities should set out in their Local Plan a positive strategy for the conservation and enjoyment of the historic environment ... In developing this strategy, local planning authorities should take into account...

- 'the desirability of new development making a positive contribution to local character and distinctiveness and'

-'opportunities to draw on the contribution made by the historic environment to the character of a place'.

It is considered that the policy would be more effective if it did not distinguish between 'built' and 'cultural heriatge' but rather used the term 'cultural heritage'.
