Important archaeological remains with a particular concentration of prehistoric earthworks including burial mounds; • A large-scale landscape of rounded, rolling hills, with big skies and long views from the escarpment and plateaux, contrasting with the more enclosed, sheltered valleys; • Fertile, chalky soils supporting mainly arable farming; • High chalk cliffs where the outcrop reaches the coast at Flamborough Head; • Limited extent of woodland, mainly confined to steep slopes, escarpments and the hills formed from Jurassic

Humberhead Levels: • Widespread evidence of industrial activity including mine buildings, former spoil tips, and iron and steel plants; • Complex mix of built-up areas, industrial land, dereliction and farmed open country; • Many areas affected by

In general terms, therefore, we believe that it provides the basis for the development of an appropriate framework for assessing the significant effects which the strategy might have upon the historic environment.

Section 2 –Relevant Reference should also be made to the following: Noted and the suggested documents Plans and Programmes added to Table 2.1. International Plans Table 2.1 • European Landscape Convention (Florence Convention)

• The Convention for the Protection of the Architectural Heritage of Europe (Granada Convention) • The European Convention on the Protection of • Archaeological Heritage (Valetta Convention) • European Spatial Development Perspective National Plans • PPS5 • The Government’s Statement on the historic environment for England 2010.

After Kirklees, the Noted and this contextual 3.116 et seq East Riding of Yorkshire area has more designated historic assets than any other authority in the Region and more high-grade information has been added to Listed Buildings and a greater number of Conservation Areas than anywhere else in Yorkshire.

Section 3, Paragraph For consistency with the other Sections, this should set out some of the issues facing the management of the East Riding’s The provided list of the key issues is 3.123 heritage assets. These include:- better placed in the next section. • However, increasing development With the exception of Leeds, Bradford and Kirklees it also has more development pressure than any other authority in the pressure on the heritage assets in Region. the area has been mentioned at the • The 2009 Heritage at Risk Register showed that the East Riding had the highest total of Scheduled Monuments at Risk end of Section 3. (equating to 55% of the Scheduled Monuments in the local planning authority area) in Yorkshire. • In 2009, the East Riding had the second highest total of Buildings at Risk in the Region including more Grade I Buildings at Risk than any other authority. Seven of the buildings have been on the Register since 1999. • The Registered Battlefield at Stamford Bridge has been identified as being at high risk.

EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE COUNCIL – SUSTAINABILITY APPRAISAL OF THE ALLOCATIONS DOCUMENT

Issue Considered Comment Response • One of the defining features of both the flat landscape of the Holderness area and of the Yorkshire Wolds are their church towers and spires. These landscapes are coming under increasing pressure from development proposals such as wind farms. • The extensive prehistoric ritual and settlement landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds with its concentration of archaeological features is under threat from intensive arable cultivation and from wind farm developments. Much of this area is undesignated. • Beverley is defined as a Principal Town within the RSS and, as a result, will be one of the main areas for development. This could impact upon the historic grain of the town, its landscape setting, and views of the Minster.

Section 4, We are surprised that the management of the area’s heritage assets is not identified as a key sustainability issue that this DPD Comment appreciated. New Key Table 4.1 - Key needs to address – particularly given the Plan’s Vision to protect and reinforce the distinct identity of the East Riding. Issue 20 ‘Increasing pressure on Sustainability Issues After Kirklees, the East Riding of Yorkshire area has more designated historic assets than any other authority in the Region and heritage assets’ has been added to Table 4.1. It lists the current more high-grade Listed Buildings and a greater number of Conservation Areas than anywhere else in Yorkshire. However, this resource is under considerable threat:- problems and identifies implications for the Allocations DPD. • With the exception of Leeds, Bradford and Kirklees it also has more development pressure than any other authority in the Region. • The 2009 Heritage at Risk Register showed that the East Riding had the highest total of Scheduled Monuments at Risk (equating to 55% of the Scheduled Monuments in the local planning authority area) in Yorkshire. • In 2009, the East Riding had the second highest total of Buildings at Risk in the Region including more Grade I Buildings at Risk than any other authority. Seven of the buildings have been on the Register since 1999. • The Registered Battlefield at Stamford ridge has been identified as being at high risk. • One of the defining features of both the flat landscape of the Holderness area and of the Yorkshire Wolds are their church towers and spires. These landscapes are coming under increasing pressure from development proposals such as wind farms. • The extensive prehistoric ritual and settlement landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds with its concentration of archaeological features is under threat from intensive arable cultivation and from wind farm developments. Much of this area is undesignated. • Beverley is defined as a Principal Town within the RSS and, as a result, will be one of the main areas for development. This could impact upon the historic grain of the town, its landscape setting, and views of the Minster. These have implications for DPD. How does the Strategy propose to address these issues and ensure that the current problems are not worsened?

Comments to response by Colliers International shown in the following pages. These comments relate to policies BEV-J and BEV-K in the Proposed Submission Allocations Document. It is assumed that rejected site 21r is actually related to rejected site WOOD21r in Woodmansey. It should be noted that Woodmansey Parish Council is preparing a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) and they have confirmed that it will allocate land for development. This means that the Woodmansey NDP (and not the Allocations Document) will allocate land to meet the need for new development for the village (ie. as set out in the Proposed Submission Strategy Document).

Site BEV-J forms the larger of the two major housing allocations (BEV-J and BEV-K), which together comprise the majority of the key area for growth to the south of Beverley. Recognising that the central part of the site lies within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a), Policy BEV-J of the Proposed Submission Allocations Document requires it is expected that significant amounts of public openoutdoor space (which is a water compatible use) play and amenity planting areas will

occur to be located within within this area of the site. This would maximise the development potential net developable area of the whole site, whilst avoiding areas of high flood risk as well as and helping to protect and enhance long distance views of the Minster from the southern approaches to the town. In site BEV-K residential development will be the predominant use on the site, but there will also be an element of employment development (approximately 6 hectares) and an area of outdoor playing space (approximately 1 hectare). Due to the large size of the allocation, and proximity to other large allocations, proposals should, alongside BEV- J, BEV-L and BEV-R, develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. This should show how the proposed SuDS system would integrate with these other site allocations. SuDS should move water east to west along the natural gradient and drain surface water at a controlled rate back into the Internal Drainage Board's system. Land levels will need to be raised where development falls within a high risk flood zone. Compensatory water storage areas to store water displaced during a flood event will also be required either on or off site.
