We support a policy which proactively preserves, protects and enhances our historic environment. In the case of Burley-in-Wharfedale, we agree that the significant views of, in our case, our semi-rural village’s iconic views, should be properly identified and protected (A4). We broadly support the aims outlined in EN4, but note that the medium and small sized villages are only mentioned in general terms. It may perhaps be necessary, to provide more detailed and specific policy for each settlement by working with residents and their Town and Parish Councils? Cooperation between those Town and Parish Councils, community groups and BMDC is crucial in defining where responsibility lies for protection of these assets and also where support from District Council is appropriate and required.
