We agree with the proposed policy, but with the following comments:
It is good that MW2 includes the historic environment. However, some rewording is probably needed to bring policy in line with paragraph 199 of NPPF (2018). For example the opening sentence of MW2 could read "will be permitted where it can be demonstrated that, with appropriate mitigation in place, development would not have an unacceptable impact...". The final sentence of MW2 could read "...creation of recreation opportunities and the enhancement and increased understanding of the natural, historic and built environment and surrounding landscapes."

It is good that there is a specific section on heritage assets (p28-29). Suggested rewording of final paragraph of Historic Environment section on p.29. "Information about archaeological sites and finds previously identified and recorded in Norfolk is held in the Norfolk Historic Environment Record. However, not all archaeological remains are currently known about and proposed development sites have potential to contain previously unidentified heritage assets of, as yet, undetermined significance. To safeguard both known and previously unrecorded heritage assets, an archaeological desk-based assessment, and in many cases a field evaluation, should be carried out by the developer. These assessments should be carried out prior to the submission of a planning application as the information that they provide will help determine the suitability of the proposal, appropriate mitigation measures and methods of working, and suitable conditions if planning permission is granted".

Not all former airfields will necessarily be suitable for open air composting, especially those with high heritage value.

We agree with the proposed policy.

(g) Reference to NPPF paragraph 132 needs updating - now paragraphs 193 - 194

Silica sand text (p67-69) includes a section (j) on the historic environment. This is very similar to the section NCCES agreed as part of the recent silica sand review.
