  1. This policy therefore identifies and seeks to protect other buildings that have local heritage interest in the neighbourhood plan area principally because of their architecture or historic connections. For each building, a description of the essential features of that local interest can be found in Appendix C which has been prepared by the Advisory Panel in line with the metholodgy advocated by Historic England and all landowners were contacted prior to the Regulation 14 consultation. Identifying these assets will raise the awareness of developers that a building has some local heritage interest that should be given proper attention in the design of their proposals.  The list will be reviewed at the same time as the Neighbourhood Plan (discretionary but recommended every five years).
