Appendix 18A Cultural Heritage Baseline 18A. Cultural Heritage Baseline 18.1 introduction Background 18.1.1 The purpose of the baseline assessment is to identify known heritage assets within the proposed Site boundary plus a defined Study Area. The assessment will map the location of all known heritage assets and will assess the potential for previously unrecorded heritage assets to be present. A map regression exercise and review of available geotechnical data will inform the assessment of modern disturbance and identify the potential for archaeological deposits to survive. An assessment of the significance of known and potential cultural heritage assets will be made, informed by research agendas and the results of consultation. 18.1.2 The information presented in this assessment will establish the current baseline conditions and inform the Preliminary Environmental Information (PEI) Report and the subsequent Environmental Statement (ES) prepared to support a development consent application for the Proposed Development. Site Description 18.1.3 The proposed Site is located on the south bank of the River Tees and comprises parts of the former Redcar Steelworks site and also includes a series of connection corridors over a wider area within Teesside for gas, electrical, water and a carbon dioxide gathering and export. Scheme Description 18.1.4 The Proposed Development, which is described fully in Chapter 4: Proposed Development (PEI Report, Volume I), comprises a combined cycle gas turbine station, electricity connections, water connections, a gathering station for carbon dioxide, and a CO2 export pipeline to an offshore geological storage site in the North Sea. Aims 18.1.5 The requirement for assessment and its scope is guided by policy contained within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (MHCLG, 2012, updated 2019), specifically paragraph 189 which seeks an assessment proportionate to the asset’s importance and sufficient to understand the potential impacts of development and to appraise the nature and extent of any impact upon setting and significance. 18.1.6 This report conforms to the requirements of the NPPF. It describes the Site, including the heritage assets within the proposed Site boundary and the Study Area, and assesses their significance and how their setting affects this significance. Prepared for: Net Zero Teesside Power Ltd. & Net Zero North Sea Storage Ltd. 18-1 Appendix 18A Cultural Heritage Baseline 18.1.7 The aims of the assessment are: · to identify designated heritage assets within the Site, connection corridors and Study Area and assess components of their setting that contribute to their significance; · to place Power Capture and Compressor (PCC) and connection corridors within a full historic and archaeological context through the collection of baseline information; · to identify known non-designated heritage assets within the PCC and Connection Corridors; and · to identify the potential for previously unrecorded heritage assets within the PCC and Connection Corridors. 18.2 Legislation, Planning Policy and Guidance the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 18.2.1 The Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act (1979) imposes a requirement for Scheduled Monument Consent for any works of demolition, repair, and alteration that might affect a designated Scheduled Monument. the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 18.2.2 The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (the Act) sets out the principal statutory provisions that must be considered in the determination of any application affecting listed buildings and conservation areas. 18.2.3 Section 66 of the Act states that in considering whether to grant planning permission for development which affects a listed building or its setting, the local planning authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State shall have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses. By virtue of Section 1(5) of the Act a listed building includes any object or structure within its curtilage. 18.2.4 Section 72 of the Act establishes a general duty on a local planning authority or the Secretary of State with respect to any buildings or other land in a conservation area to pay special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of a Conservation Area. National Planning Policy Framework 18.2.5 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (MHCLG, 2012, updated 2019) sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these should be applied to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. While the EIA methodology forms part of a separate planning regime, the planning decision still takes account of national guidance. As such, it important to understand where the development fits within this. Prepared for: Net Zero Teesside Power Ltd. & Net Zero North Sea Storage Ltd. 18-2 Appendix 18A Cultural Heritage Baseline 18.2.6 Section 16 of the NPPF deals specifically with the historic environment. Where changes are proposed, the NPPF sets out a clear framework to ensure that heritage assets are conserved, and where appropriate enhanced, in a manner that is consistent with their significance. 18.2.7 The NPPF sets out the importance of being able to assess the significance of heritage assets that may be affected by a development. Significance is defined in Annex 2 as being the, “value of a heritage asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest. That interest may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic”. Significance is not only derived from an asset's physical presence, but also from its setting. The setting of a heritage asset is defined in Annex 2 as, “the surroundings in which a heritage asset is experienced. Its extent is not fixed and may change as the asset and its surroundings evolve”. 18.2.8 Paragraph 189 of the NPPF states that in determining applications, local planning authorities should require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including any contribution made by their setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance. Similarly, there is a requirement on local planning authorities, having assessed the particular significance of any heritage asset that may be affected by a proposal; to take this into account when considering the impact of a proposal on a heritage asset (paragraph 190). 18.2.9 In determining planning applications, local planning authorities should take account of the following points: · the desirability of sustaining and enhancing the significance of heritage assets and putting them to viable uses consistent with their conservation; · the positive contribution that conservation of heritage assets can make to sustainable communities including their economic vitality; · the desirability of new development making a positive contribution to local character and distinctiveness (paragraph 192); and · opportunities to draw on the contribution made by the historic environment to the character of a place. 18.2.10 Paragraphs 193 to 197 of the NPPF introduce the concept that heritage assets can be harmed or lost through alteration, destruction or development within their setting. This harm ranges from less than substantial through to substantial. With regard to designated assets, paragraph 193 states that great weight should be placed on its conservation, irrespective

  • Historical Summary & Timeline Periods
    Historical Summary & Timeline Periods Ian Pearce March 2010 It is clearly impossible to capture the history of Cleveland over ten thousand years in a few pages. This timeline tries to set important local events and developments into a national framework. National events have only been included where they made a significant impact on Historic Cleveland. So for example neither the Wars of the Roses or Queen Victoria are mentioned. On the other hand the Roman invasion and William the Conqueror do make an appearance. Important parts of the north-east history that had little effect on Historic Cleveland, such as coal mining, are excluded. We would welcome suggestions for improving this timeline or any corrections to its content. Timeline periods 7600 to 3500 BC Mesolithic • Groups of hunter-gatherer people move around the area, leaving flint artefacts and microliths at early habitation sites (on the sides of the old course of the River Leven and at Seamer Carr). Deer, elk, oxen and boar are hunted. • Britain cut off from mainland Europe in about 7500 BC as sea levels rise. 3500 to 1700 BC Neolithic • More settled farming begins. Hut circles found in the area. Ritual sites are constructed (stone circle at Commondale). Flint artefacts scattered across the Cleveland Plain and the edges of the moors. • Burial sites (chambered cairn on Great Ayton Moor, Street Houses at Loftus). 1700 to 600 BC Bronze age • Tools, weapons and decorative items manufactured from metals. Bronze axes and other implements are introduced, but flint scrapers, blades and arrowheads continue to be used. • Habitation sites are recognisable by flint scatterings (Seamer, Stokesley).

DOI: 11 Unemployment without Protest: The Ironstone Mining Communities of East Cleveland in the Inter-war Period MALCOLM CHASE This is a study of absences. It treats an area of Britain-East Cleveland (on the North Yorkshire coast between Teesside and Whitby)-almost totally absent from histories of the inter-war period. 1 And it considers an occupational group-ironstone miners-that are largely ignored by labour historians. 2 More par- ticularly, however, this essay is about the absence of protest by the unemployed. A failure to protest was arguably the norm among British unemployed workers in the inter-war period.

  • Basque Refugees at Hutton Hall, Guisborough, North Yorkshire Based on Chapter 6 the Last Pennymans of Ormesby, the Lives Of
    Basque Refugees at Hutton Hall, Guisborough, North Yorkshire Based on Chapter 6 The Last Pennymans of Ormesby, the lives of Jim and Ruth Pennyman, by Mark Whyman, published by Bargate Publications 2008. Ruth Pennyman of Ormesby Hall was the organiser of this colony. Early in 1937 she had been out to Barcelona and although she only recorded a description of her outward journey, she was clearly affected by what she had seen there. When news of the possibility of children being evacuated to the UK., she sought the help of a local Quaker Landowner, Sir Alfred Pease for the use of Hutton Hall, a large mansion, at this time standing empty in its own extensive park. He readily agreed and feverish preparations were made before the arrival of 20 refugees on 1st July 1937i. There were 13 girls and 7 boys aged between 7 and 15. Hutton Hall near Guisborough,Hutton loaned byHall Sir Alfred – Mark Pease Whyman as a home for Basque refugee children Mark Whyman A letter to supporters described the arrangements; The bedrooms are large airy rooms with three or four small beds in each room. Orange boxes, given by a local fruiterer, have been painted by the boys to use as bedside lockers and the girls have made curtains for them in cheap cretonne in bright colours. The floors were stained by voluntary helpers, and between each bed is a rush mat. A small table completes the furniture. The children’s personal possessions such as photographs, purses, beads, dolls’ tea-sets, &c., are all set out on the little tables and on nearly every bed there is a doll.
