The District’s built and cultural heritage contributes to the area’s local distinctiveness and overall character and its tourist resource making a valuable economic. Historic Parks and Gardens are a particular interest for their intrinsic value and as a setting for historic buildings. There are many more of local significance.

The historic inheritance adds to the quality of life and is an important resource for the local economy. New development should respect the character and scale of historic facilities, their landscape setting and public views. Building should not be a pastiche. High quality development should respect and enhance the area’s character.
