The key requirements section of the proforma's in Appendix C of the plan appear to confuse mitigation and enhancement. It should be made clear that the retention of trees and hedgerows constitutes mitigation whilst additional planting constitutes enhancement.

Amend text in second sentence to read: 'Development proposals should demonstrate how they conserve and enhance the significance of heritage assets, including their setting'. Details relating to 'character, appearance and function' could then follow on from this.

Amend the penultimate paragraph change 'sustainable reuse' to 'appropriate use', and delete the wording in brackets 'where appropriate' as this inaccurately alters the meaning of the wording.

Site 523 Land east of Wolverhampton Road.
The HESA references the need to consider the setting of a listed building and for proposed development to be sensitive to its impact on the listed building. There is no reference in the plan in Appendix C under site 523 to any of the mitigation measures identified in the HESA 2022 Report, which we require to be included in the plan.
