Minerals Local Plan Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report

Representation ID: 30566

Received: 13/01/2018

Respondent: Historic England (East Midlands)

Agent: Historic England (East Midlands)

Representation Summary:

Q9 response- Due to the narrow approach earlier on in scoping, the sustainability issue identified is skewed towards listed buildings at risk and potential Trent Valley archaeology when, due to the nature of mineral extraction it is likely that Scheduled Monuments, Registered Parks and Gardens, Conservation Areas and non-designated heritage assets in the County are likely to be mostly affected by the Plan, in particular Creswell Crags in respect of possible dolomite extraction.

Q10 response- Historic England agrees that the Historic Environment and Cultural Heritage has a moderate/high significance to the Plan. The word 'affect' should be replaced with 'harm'.
