CONCLUSION

52. This SPP encourages a positive and proactive approach by planning authorities to managing change in the historic environment. The historic environment is important in that it can bring added value, not just as a cultural add-on, but as an economic driver, attracting inward investment, playing a vital part in our tourist industry and helping communities to regenerate. The identification, promotion and enabling of opportunities for high-quality development which builds upon the values embedded in the historic environment can help sustain the resource by recognising its special needs while at the same time delivering solutions fit for modern needs.
