Representation Summary:

Policy DEL 3, page 65, clause 5 we would suggest the text is amended as follows, or similar: ‘Proposals should not have an adverse impact on […] heritage assets or conservation areas…’ to ‘Proposals should protect and where possible, enhance […] the significance of heritage assets including their setting’. Conservation areas are listed within the NPPF definition of heritage assets and as such do not require their own reference.
