Leek Wootton Neighbourhood Plan

Representation ID: 70815

Received: 03/10/2017

Respondent: Historic England

Representation Summary:

Our previous substantive Regulation 14 comments remain entirely relevant, that is:
"Historic England is supportive of both the content of the document and the vision and objectives set out in it. The emphasis on the conservation of local distinctiveness and the protection of rural landscape character including important views is highly commendable. Equally commendable is the detailed analysis of sites proposed for development and the production of associated design guidance for them.
Overall the plan reads as a well-considered, concise and fit for purpose document which we consider takes a suitably proportionate approach to the historic environment of the Parish".
Beyond those observations we have no further substantive comments to make on what Historic England considers is a good example of community led planning.

Thank you for the invitation to comment on the Regulation 16 Neighbourhood Plan. Our previous substantive Regulation 14 comments remain entirely relevant, that is:
"Historic England is supportive of both the content of the document and the vision and objectives set out in it. The emphasis on the conservation of local distinctiveness and the protection of rural landscape character including important views is highly commendable. Equally commendable is the detailed analysis of sites proposed for development and the production of associated design guidance for them.
Overall the plan reads as a well-considered, concise and fit for purpose document which we consider takes a suitably proportionate approach to the historic environment of the Parish".
Beyond those observations we have no further substantive comments to make on what Historic England considers is a good example of community led planning.
I hope you find this advice helpful.
