Is non intervisibility the new intervisibility ?


Well I know a Quango that'll hope not - for very coincidentally English Heritage has just published a guidance paper for planners on the setting of heritage assets. They've obviously been up all night doing it and as they say -

“Intentional inter-visibility between heritage assets, or between heritage assets and natural features, can make a particularly important contribution to significance. Some assets, whether contemporaneous or otherwise, were intended to be seen from one another for aesthetic, functional, ceremonial or religious reasons.”

So I think they’ll be hopping mad (as may our development-orientated government and their advisors, Wimpeys) if they have to sit down and re-write it to expand the concept of heritage landscapes to include features that are beyond the sight lines! ;)
