22.3.1.1 To protect the heritage values associated with heritage items, (Appendix Nl)<br />
so that the national, regional or local significance of the item is retained. The<br />
basis of the significance of an item is wide ranging and can be its built<br />
features or the role that an item has played in the community over time. The<br />
categories that apply are:<br />
(c) Category C: Community Significance- Local significance heritage items<br />
are of local importance, contribute to the community's history and are<br />
noteworthy as community heritage places.<br />

is not consistent with Polley 22.3.1.1.<br />

22.3.2 To protect the <strong>District</strong>'s heritage items by ensuring that heritage items are<br />
retained within the <strong>District</strong>, appropriately maintained, and that any<br />
additions, alterations, or signs do not compromise the heritage values of the<br />
item.<br />
Policy -Demolition, partial demolition and removal of a heritage Item<br />
22.3.2.7 The demolition or removal of a heritage item from its site shall be avoided<br />
unless in exceptional circumstances. Partial demolition, that is part of works<br />
to achieve an addition or alteration to a heritage item, shall be achieved in a<br />
manner that results in no more than minor adverse effect on the character<br />
and values of the heritage Item.<br />
Comment: In this instance it can be argued that there are exceptional circumstances<br />
which could support the removal of the building. These include the renovations and<br />
alterations to the building undertaken over the years and the financial requirement<br />
to restore the building to its original state.<br />
