INTRODUCTION 1.1.1 This Heritage Statement assesses the value of the baseline heritage assets within 200m of the red line boundary of the Oxford Corridor Phase 2 Capacity Improvement Scheme (hereafter known as the Scheme). It also outlines the potential impacts on them and identifies any additional surveys or works required. 1.1.2 This Heritage Statement is a detailed study of available baseline data and includes information on non-designated assets obtained from the Oxford Historic Environment Record. The baseline supports the Historic Environment Chapter 8 within Volume 2 of the Environmental Statement. The appendix is supported by Figures 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 within Volume 3 and Appendix 1.5 – Glossary and Acronyms within Volume 4. Page 1 of 28 OFFICIAL Network Rail Oxford Corridor Phase 2 Capacity Improvement Scheme Environmental Impact Assessment – Appendix 8.1: Heritage Statement 163390-JAC-REP-EEN-000007 Revision A04 2. LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY BACKGROUND 2.1 National Policy Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 2.1.1 Scheduled Monuments are, of national importance and are protected by law. It is a criminal offence to damage a Scheduled Monument. Consent (known as Scheduled Monument Consent) must be obtained from the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport before any works affecting a Scheduled Monument may take place. Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 2.1.2 Listed Buildings are recognised to be of special architectural or historic interest. Under the 1990 Act, planning authorities are instructed to have special regard to the desirability of preserving a Listed Building, its setting, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses. The 1990 Act outlines the duty for local planning authorities to designate ‘areas of special architectural or historic interest, the appearance or character of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’. These are known as Conservation Areas. Historic Buildings and Ancient Monuments Act 1953 2.1.3 The 1953 Act conferred powers on Historic England to create a register of Historic Parks and Gardens which are assessed to be of special historic interest. Inclusion of a site on the register does not confer any additional legal protection of the site. It does however make the effect caused by a proposed development on the sites and their settings a material consideration in relation to the development. 2.2 National Guidance National Planning Policy Framework 2.2.1 National planning policies concerning the conservation of the historic environment are set out in Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG), 2019). Although the Scheme does not need to obtain planning permission, the NPPF has been used as guidance for the assessment. 2.2.2 The NPPF recognises that heritage assets are an irreplaceable resource which should be conserved in a manner appropriate to their archaeological significance. Archaeological significance (hereafter referred to as ‘value’) is defined by the Glossary on page 71 of the NPPF, as 'the value of a heritage Page 2 of 28 OFFICIAL Network Rail Oxford Corridor Phase 2 Capacity Improvement Scheme Environmental Impact Assessment – Appendix 8.1: Heritage Statement 163390-JAC-REP-EEN-000007 Revision A04 asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest'. For the purposes of this report, the term ‘value’ will be employed. This is to avoid confusion with the terminology for Environmental Impact Assessment ‘likely significance effect’. This value may be related to archaeological, architectural and artistic or historic interest, and may also derive from the setting of the asset. 2.2.3 Under Paragraph 189 of the NPPF, applicants for planning permission are required to provide a description of the value of any affected heritage assets and their settings in sufficient detail to understand the potential impact of the proposal on them. 2.2.4 When determining planning applications, Paragraph 192 of the NPPF instructs local planning authorities to take into account: • “the desirability of sustaining and enhancing the (archaeological) significance (value) of heritage assets and putting them to viable uses consistent with their conservation; • the positive contribution that conservation of heritage

Background Kingfisher Corner is located in the western corner of Botley Park in Oxford at grid reference SP498064. It is broadly triangular in shape, and extends to approximately 0.37 hectares. It is bounded to the east by a playing field, to the north‐west by Bulstake Stream and to the south‐east by Osney Ditch (both watercourses are tributaries of the River Thames). The site of Kingfisher Corner was a children’s play area until 2009. Following this it is understood that Low Carbon West Oxford (LCWO) created three shallow scrapes (possibly utilising the depressions left by the removal of the play equipment) within this area, and then planted aquatic plant species in the scrapes, and scrub in the immediate surrounds1.
