Respondent: Historic England

Legibility is important in any new community. The use of existing landmarks and key views into an out of the development can be an important aspect of this design process. A criterion should be added to specifically highlight the opportunities for key views to be used to enhance legibility within the development e.g. to church spires and other landmark buildings that may be seen from within the site.
Trees and landscaping play an important role in helping to protect and enhance the setting of the City. Reference should be made to this in the policy.
Suggested Change:
Add criterion to protect key views or landmark buildings e.g. churches to increase legibility
Add criterion in relation to role of trees, landscaping and green infrastructure in protecting and enhancing the setting of the wider City and historic environment.
