Respondent: Historic England
Mostly supportive but request changes.
The fourth bullet point should be amended to better bring through the vision statement's aspiration to use the historic environment to bring about positive benefits.
We particularly welcome the Context Analysis within Section 2 which outlines the development of the area and that areas of architectural richness and a fine urban grain are identified as a strength of the area in the SWOT analysis on Page 22.
We would encourage that the fourth bullet point under the heading of opportunities be amended to better bring through the vision statement's aspiration to use the historic environment to bring about positive benefits. We suggest that the proposed wording be amended as follows:
* Building on existing assets: conservation area, Opportunities to draw on the contribution made by the historic environment to enhance the character of the place (conservation areas, listed and locally listed buildings, surviving Victorian buildings and street patterns, proximity to river, vibrant community).
