Development Management: Schedule of modifications

Thank you for consulting the Historic Environment Advisors on the Rochford Development Management Examination: Proposed schedule of Modifications.
This office would fully support the recommended changes within sections MM5, MM14 and MM30.

The following section provides recommended wording to be added into the existing document. This will support the objectives proposed by Rochford for the protection of the Historic Environment of their District.

We have been consulted separately by our strategic team within the County Council and we advised them in relation to the Additional modifications. Please see below as I could not find these on the web site.

AM10: The NPPF integrates archaeological and built heritage all under Historic Environment. The present wording in this amended paragraph fails to integrate the archaeological heritage of the District. The following alterations are recommended to this paragraph to correct this.

The historic environment of the District contributes to the unique character and history of Rochford District, its individual settlements, the established local streetscene and its landscape. The significant historic townscapes, village centres and other smaller areas which merit statutory protection are protected through Conservation Area designations, and the most nationally important buildings and items of street furniture of 'special interest' are protected through Listed Building status and listed building status in the case of historic buildings meeting national criteria relating to their significance. Nationally important archaeological deposits are protected as Schedule Monuments. It is, however, also important to consider the impact of development and change on the wider area beyond the boundary of protected areas and on locally important unlisted buildings and undesignated archaeological sites which are cherished by the local community.
