The general policy text should help ensure that the Local Plan is effective in meeting the aims of section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
The Leeds & Liverpool forms an important heritage asset through the district, including through the Saltaire World Heritage Site. Whilst we welcome in part C(2) the reference to industrial heritage, we believe that reference to the canal itself should be included. This would make the plan more effective as it would make it clearer to decision makers that the waterway itself is a heritage asset. The is pertinent as the multifunctional role of the canal is such that its heritage value is not otherwise immediately obvious to decision makers and developers.
