Respondent: Historic England

We are supportive of a policy for canals and canal structures. We would request that, in clause 1, undesignated is replaced with non designated and historic assets is replaced with heritage assets, to reflect NPPF terminology. Clause 2c would benefit from the inclusion of text to protect the significance of heritage assets including their setting. Clause 2e we support the references. Has any assessment work been undertaken to understand what the key views may be? Clause 3c we suggest insert the wording to protect and enhance the significance of heritage assets within this clause and delete the term ‘preserve’.
