Stephen Levrant : Heritage Architecture
134. Where a development proposal will lead to
less than substantial harm
to the
significance of a designated heritage asset, this harm should be weighed
against the
public benefits
of the proposal, including securing its optimum
viable use.
135. The effect of an application on the significance of a
non-designated heritage
asset
should be taken into account in determining the application. In
weighing applications that affect directly or indirectly non designated
heritage assets, a balanced judgement will be required having regard to the
scale of any harm or loss and the significance of the heritage asset.
