The policy could also refer to the contribution made by heritage to the UNESCO Global Geopark and the number of heritage assets contained within the boundary, to ensure their protection and continued role within the wider landscape.

The policy should consider what the harm could be for heritage assets as a result of both flooding and mitigation measures to the watercourse. For example, impacts to water logged archaeology that could be affected through alterations to the watercourse. A reference to the consideration of the historic environment within proposals would satisfy this.

We would anticipate to see a reference to the historic environment within this policy, as a component of green infrastructure.

Leasowes Registered Park and Garden could usefully include a reference on the need to protect the significance of this heritage asset including its setting, especially from inappropriate development/restoration. We are supportive of its reference within the Plan and the aspiration for appropriate restoration.

Section 14 Historic Environment We are supportive of such an extensive and locally responsive chapter in the Plan for the historic environment, covering both designated heritage assets as well as local designations specific to Dudley and its unique and special history and character. We particularly welcome the overarching holistic approach of the policy section which seeks to ensure that designated and non designated heritage assets are protected but also focusses on the wider local distinctiveness of Dudley and the less tangible elements of the historic environment to ensure that the uniqueness and character of Dudley is safeguarded for future generations.

The policies are well considered and are justified by significant evidence, as detailed within the Plan, which in turn will ensure that the policies are effective in practice. We welcome this approach.
