Rochford Core Strategy Development Plan Document - Schedule of Changes

Representation ID: 26442

Received: 30/11/2010

Respondent: Historic England

Representation Summary:


We note the recent legal decision confirming that the Regional Spatial Strategy remains part of the development plan, and that this may affect how you proceed. We do not have any further comments to make in respect of this consultation.

As you will know, PPS5 Planning for the Historic Environment was published in March 2010. While we do not consider this calls for a radically different approach in your Core Strategy, the PPS is more explicit in several areas on how the historic environment should be addressed and valued. The Government's objectives in para 7 of PPS5 promote recognition of the positive contribution of heritage assets to local character and sense of place, and the integration of the historic environment into planning policies relating to place-shaping.

Thank you for consulting English Heritage on proposed changes to the Core Strategy.

We note the recent legal decision confirming that the Regional Spatial Strategy remains part of the development plan, and that this may affect how you proceed. We do not have any further comments to make in respect of this consultation.

As you will know, PPS5 Planning for the Historic Environment was published in March 2010. While we do not consider this calls for a radically different approach in your Core Strategy, the PPS is more explicit in several areas on how the historic environment should be addressed and valued. The Government's objectives in para 7 of PPS5 promote recognition of the positive contribution of heritage assets to local character and sense of place, and the integration of the historic environment into planning policies relating to place-shaping.

We would be pleased to discuss any minor changes to the Core Strategy to reflect the new PPS if you would find it useful.
