20. Historic assets of special local interest
To help local planning authorities to
protect and manage locally important
historic assets and conserve or enhance
local character.

21. Managing change to listed buildings
• Listed buildings are a finite
resource to cherish and protect
for future generations.
• Change may be desirable or
necessary, but needs to be well
managed.

22. World Heritage Sites
• There is no higher recognition of
heritage value than World Heritage
Site status.
• Because of their Outstanding
Universal Value, we have a
responsibility to protect, conserve
and present World Heritage Sites
for future generations.

23. Managing Conservation Areas
• Conservation areas add value to the
places where we live, work and visit.
• Positive management of conservation
areas enables change without
harming them.

24. Heritage Impact Assessments
• Heritage impact assessments will
improve applications for designated
historic asset consent.
• Elsewhere, they are good practice
when you are planning change to
any historic asset.

25. Setting of Historic Assets in Wales
• Setting is important to the way in which
historic assets are understood,
appreciated and experienced, and
contributes to their significance.
• Development proposals should aim to
minimise any harmful impact on the
setting of a historic asset.

26. Best practice guidance
Coming Soon
• Historic parks and gardens
• Historic character
• Historic buildings at risk
and
• Statutory guidance on Historic
Environment Records
