In general terms, many of the policies dealing with the Historic Environment are worded negatively and restrictively and so conflict with the NPPF, exceeding even the statutory provision.

It is particularly the case, in our client's view that Policy HE1 must be extensively revised to ensure compliance with the NPPF and its practical application more generally.

In its present form, Policy HE1 does not include the concept pf "proportionality" which is essential to delivery pf sustainable development which underpins several topic areas of the NPPF. Our clients therefore consider the policy to be unsound and recommend it is redrafted.
