• Identifying the varied heritage asset types which constitute the historic environment and their importance to Liverpool's iconic image; 
• Requiring development proposals which affect the historic environment to understand their historic context; 
• Ensuring all development proposals which affect designated heritage assets or their settings preserve or enhance their character, significance or appearance; 
• Minimising and mitigating any harm to the historic environment which may arise from development proposals; 
• Ensuring all development proposals which affect heritage assets address building standards in a sympathetic manner which minimises harm; and

If adopted, the document will be taken into account when the council determines relevant planning applications.
