Policy HN6 is not in accordance with national guidance on enabling development. The two paragraphs offer a 'last resort' which I believe will be the first resort as there is no definition of it. It will offer no benefit to the community to build tower blocks around the historic buildings. The buildings are not in a bad state, the only danger is arson which often seems to be used. Arson is an accepted part of UK planning, use of enabling here has the potential to cause damage contrary to the aims of the established planning policy.
