Each dossier includes the following for the site: • A site boundary mapped on the current Ordnance Survey to indicate the extent of the main part of the surviving designed landscape, also a current aerial photograph. • A statement of historic significance based on the four Interests outlined in the National Planning Policy Framework and including an overview.
