Support intent of Policy 12 - consider it aids interpretation of national planning policies recognising importance of historic environment. Surprised by first section of criteria 2(c) in so far as implies non-designated heritage assets could be designated solely based on their contribution towards their surroundings. Would appear to be more a matter of townscape / character than heritage per-se. Note inclusion of archaeology in policy but would be surprised if criteria 4(a-c) need apply to all developments (even minor applications) that involve excavation and ground works. Perhaps more appropriately addressed through validation checklist.
