A Heritage Impact
Assessment may take in to account the following:
- Archaeological Remains both above and below
ground
- Historic Buildings and sites, which may include,
gardens, villages greens, canals and ridges.
- Historic Areas
- Other structures of architectural merit.
- Historic Landscapes
Archaeological remains can date back from the dawn
of mankind to around the time of the second world war, perhaps even more
recent than that. Consultations with organisations such as English
Heritage may help deduce whether a site / building has historic
importance.
A baseline study for heritage impact should be assembled, this should include;
- A summary of archaeological context
- An inventory of archaeological assets and an evaluation of these assets.
- An informed expectation of potential assets to be found in further investigations, and past construction which may have damaged / destroyed archaeological resources.
- A map of project area showing assets.
