3.4.2 Please can you confirm if scheduled monuments and listed buildings as well as non-designated heritage assets have also been included?
Insufficient consideration of historic environment in methodology and assessment More generally, in relation to the methodology, we are concerned that the methodology for the study falls short and is very much focussed on landscape with minimal consideration of the historic environment.
We appreciate that the Assessment is not completely devoid of consideration for historic environment issues. For example, in Appendix 3 The Landscape Susceptibility Analysis mentions heritage assets including some conservation areas and some registered parks and gardens.
However, heritage does not appear to have not been considered in the identification of areas of sensitivity and therefore it is our view that the Landscape Sensitivity Assessment does not give sufficient consideration to heritage assets and their settings.
Further, more detailed heritage specific assessment is needed now which should give greater consideration to heritage assets and their setting, as described in Historic England Advice Note 15. Paragraphs 23-27 set out advice regarding how to assess areas for renewable energy development and the importance of considering heritage assets.
We would emphasise that a receptor buffering approach is neither appropriate nor sufficient to assess impact upon the significance of heritage assets since it fails to engage with their historic landscape, designed landscape, topographic or archaeological context.
