Policy SHE1 – Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas

Representation ID: 670

Received: 11/12/2023

Respondent: Dr Michael Hodder

Representation Summary:

This policy is titled Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas but parts 1, 2 and 3 of the policy then talks abouit heritage assets and their settings- heritage assets, as defined in the NPPF, include locally listed buildings and sites of archaeological interest. The wording of parts 1,2 and 3 is welcomed, but perhaps the policy was intended to specifically relate to listed buildings and conservation areas (which are designated heritage assets, along with scheduled monuments and registered parks and gardens)

Policy SHE4 - Archaeology

Representation ID: 675

Received: 11/12/2023

Respondent: Dr Michael Hodder

Representation Summary:

4. lines 3-5 should read "....conditions of planning permissions for archaeological excavation to be undertaken prior to impact on or loss of the asset, in accordance with a written scheme of investigation to be approved by the Council, followed by analysis and publication of the results. [evaluation is the wrong term here because it refers to assessment undertaken prior to determination of a planning application]

5. This should begin "For sites with known or likely archaeological potential..." [the use of the term evaluation in this sentence is correct].

The Council must consult Historic England about the wording of this policy
