Heritage assets and a Heritage Strategy for East Devon >>> to go out to public consultation

The District Council should be agreeing to go ahead with a many-times delayed look at its heritage:
Futures Forum: Heritage assets and a Heritage Strategy for East Devon > to be considered by the District Council

And as of today, this will go to the wider public:

Draft Heritage Strategy Consultation

Our heritage assets, which are valued parts of our historic environment, are an irreplaceable resource that provide significant social, economic and environmental benefits for East Devon. It is important that we set out a positive strategy for their conservation and enjoyment, for this and future generations.

We have recently produced a Draft Heritage Strategy (2019 – 2031) for the East Devon District. This presents a summary of our heritage, its significance, its management and its benefits, with an action plan for the delivery of our recommendations.

We are running a consultation and would like to hear what you think about any part of the document, which can be viewed at http://eastdevon.gov.uk/planning/planning-policy/heritage-strategy/

To help with this, some examples of questions you may wish to consider in your response are also set out on the website at http://eastdevon.gov.uk/planning/planning-policy/heritage-strategy/

It would be helpful when making your comments if you quote the question number or the section or theme name with each comment where this applies.

The period for you to submit comments runs from: Wednesday 28 November 2018 to Tuesday 22 January 2019.

Please ensure all comments are received by 5pm on 22 January 2019 or they may not be considered. Comments can be submitted by email or post to:

planningpolicy@eastdevon.gov.uk,

Planning Policy, East Devon District Council, Knowle, Sidmouth  EX10 8HL

Following the consultation we will consider all responses received. We will then amend the document accordingly and submit it to the East Devon District Council Strategic Planning Committee recommending adoption.

If you would like any further explanation on the Heritage Strategy, or guidance on submitting comments, please contact the planning policy section on 01395 517483 or 571533.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully
