Representation Summary:
'Development proposals for the strategic sites will be expected to address the following as a minimum: Proposals for development must respond positively to natural and heritage assets; wherever possible and viable, development should enhance the settings of such assets.'
The emphasis of the caveat "wherever possible and viable" is inconsistent with the NPPF and should either be deleted or replaced with "where appropriate" (NPPF Glossary - definition of Conservation).
