Ms Virginia Teehan:

To add to that, this is important for us and we consider it important. The implementation of the national landscapes strategy is relevant here and relevant to the wider work of this committee. Historic landscapes are vital and they are now threatened with climate change and climate adaptation. A consideration and a discussion about that may be of value.

The heads of the Bill require further teasing out, as Mr. Doyle has identified, but, equally, the relationships with local authorities and the planning processes may allow increasing flexibility to recognise the significance of landscape, the context of monuments, their setting and their protection in light of climate change.
