Ms Charlotte Sheridan:

That is what we are talking about in terms of robust planning applications. It goes back to the protected structures as well, but it is about that layer of information we can have about a place such that someone can look to their area and see what the existing contexts are, what the proposals are within that area and what they can anticipate. In an ideal world, people would embrace development for the added value it can bring to their community, see it can enhance and improve that place and be supportive of it. It is important we hear all voices and active engagement is really critical. We want to have a well-informed public when it comes to what it is they understand about their place. That helps to inform the applicants, but it also helps the local authority in assessing projects. It would all work collectively. The potential is there.
