their setting(s);<br />

appropriately repaired and re-used.<br />

the special character or appearance <strong>of</strong> the park, garden or square;<br />

protection, retention and re-use. These buildings need to be identified by developers early in<br />
their development design process and their retention should be incorporated into the proposed<br />
development. Clear justification must be provided as to why a locally listed building cannot<br />
be retained.<br />
