Consultation on proposed amendments to the Statement of Community Involvement for Rochford District Council
Thank you for your consultation on the above dated 19 July 2019 which was received by Natural England on 19 July 2019.
Natural England is a non-departmental public body. Our statutory purpose is to ensure that the natural environment is conserved, enhanced, and managed for the benefit of present and future generations, thereby contributing to sustainable development.
We are supportive of the principle of meaningful and early engagement of the general community, community organisations and statutory bodies in local planning matters, both in terms of shaping policy and participating in the process of determining planning applications.
We regret we are unable to comment, in detail, on individual Statements of Community Involvement but information on the planning service we offer, including advice on how to consult us, can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/protected-species-and-sites-how-to-review-planning-proposals.
We now ask that all planning consultations are sent electronically to the central hub for our planning and development advisory service at the following address: consultations@naturalengland.org.uk. This system enables us to deliver the most efficient and effective service to our customers.

Dear Planning Policy Team

Draft Statement of Community Involvement for Rochford District 2019

Thank you for consulting Historic England on the Draft Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) for Rochford District 2019. As the Government's adviser on the historic environment Historic England is keen to ensure that the protection of the historic environment is fully taken into account at all stages and levels of the local planning process.

We support the general aims and approach to the draft Statement of Community Involvement. We welcome the reference to statutory consultees under duty to co-operate at paragraph 2.13 with respect to general planning policy at paragraph 2.3 as well as with regard to planning applications at paragraph 3.12. However, it would be helpful if specific mention could be made in paragraphs 2.3 and 2.13 to Historic England being a statutory consultee. Please amend the references in paragraphs 3.9 and 3.12 to Historic England not English Heritage or Heritage England.

With regards to neighbourhood planning, we would welcome notification of proposed neighbourhood planning areas as well as consultation on draft plans. The regulations state that statutory bodies including Historic England should be consulted on draft plans where our interests are considered to be affected. This should be included in your amendment to paragraph 2.21. We have guidance on neighbourhood planning, which can be found at: <https://historicengland.org.uk/advice/planning/plan-making/improve-your-neighbourhood/>

We would welcome consultation at an informal level, in addition to the requirements of the legislation, where issues may benefit from our early involvement. For information and for further consultation please note our consultation email address

We hope that the above comments are of assistance. If you would like any clarification or would like to discuss the above please do not hesitate to contact me.
