Significance of Heritage Assets / Receptor Sensitivity
The
sensitivity of the receptor
(townscape
character area, heritage asset, or view) as existing
is assessed as high, medium or low.
The sensitivity of a receptor is dependent on:
•
the importance of the receptor;
•
the value and quality of the receptor; and
•
the nature and expectation of the viewer.
