We are pleased to note that the historic environment is referred to in several policies and welcome in particular policy DM5. The recognition given to the importance of protecting the settings of heritage assets, including those of conservation areas, is useful. We also welcome the character zone approach in policy DM6 relating to the Seafront, and the commitment to protecting Leigh Old Town.
