Respondent: Historic England
Supportive but request amendments.
There are fourteen headings under Section 4.2: Area Wide Guidance. We request that an additional heading of 'Historic Environment' is added to ensure that the desirability of new development making a positive contribution to the historic environment is communicated fully. We suggest the following wording or similar:
Historic Environment
Conservation of the historic environment can bring wider social, cultural, economic and environmental benefits. Development should seek to draw out opportunities to maintain and enhance surviving buildings of good quality, where these make a positive contribution to the distinctive character of the area.
Development should have regard to its context and wider setting, ensuring the it relates well to all elements of the historic environment including the setting of Jesus College and Jesus Green; the setting and significance of individual listed and locally listed buildings within and adjacent to the opportunity area and to the conservation areas within the locality.
