It is important that the policy takes a proportionate approach to heritage assets that accords with national planning policy. At present, policy DM9 does not distinguish between designated and non-designated heritage assets, instead seeming to apply a blanket approach to both.

In particular, it does not distinguish between the loss of or substantial harm to designated and non-designated heritage assets, despite the NPPF applying different requirements to each.
