Clause within policy relating to historic environment needs to be site specific rather than referring to a separate document - this is not a sound approach. Clause (g) should set out the specific mitigation measures, including that planning applications should include both details to address the physical protection of the non-designated moat from damage but also a positive management plan for its conservation, inlcuding its setting relationship with the nearby Scheduled Moat site. Further given the setting of the Shropshire Union Canal Conservation Area the mitigation measures for retaining existing tree and hedgerows is essential and additional planting will be an enhancement opportunity.
