It states that the quality of the District's historicenvironment is extremely high. The Council is fully committed to usingits planning powers as a means of conserving and enhancing thisheritage (paragraph 9.01).The Plan's historic environment strategy will seek to:-a. preserve the District's built and archaeological heritage so that itmay be enjoyed by future generations;b. preserve and enhance the special historic and architecturalcharacter and setting of the historic towns of Dover, Deal andSandwich;c. encourage development which would preserve or enhance thecharacter or appearance of historic areas; andd. provide assistance through professional conservation advice,design guidance and, wherever practicable, grant aid.2.6 Policies intended to protect the historic landscape, such as the formerpolicy HE4 (listed Buildings), HE5 (Scheduled Monuments andArchaeological Remains of National Importance), HE6 (ArchaeologicalRemains of less than national importance) and HE7 (Excavation andRecording), have been removed from the forthcoming LocalDevelopment Framework. The Local Plan states that these policies areno longer needed as the issue is covered in listed building andconservation area legislation and national policy and guidance set outin PPG 115 and 16.
