Archaeology and Cultural Heritage 1 Environmental Statement Document 6.10 1 Introduction 1.1.1 This Chapter has been prepared by AECOM. It reports the identification and assessment of the potential effects that the Onshore Scheme, as described in Chapter 3 Onshore Scheme Description (Document 6.3), may have on the archaeological and cultural heritage resource of the Study Area and identifies the mitigation and compensation measures that will be implemented to prevent, reduce or offset potential adverse effects or enhance potential beneficial effects, where possible. 1.1.2 Potential effects on archaeology and cultural heritage are interrelated with effects on landscape and visual amenity, and the surrounding land and its uses, while assets such as hedgerows have been considered in line with ecological constraints. Furthermore there is the potential for issues relating to vehicle and construction vibrations to cause effects on the archaeological resource. Although the methodologies employed by the various disciplines differs, a crossover between subject matter means that this Chapter should be read in conjunction with Chapter 9 Ecology and Nature Conservation (Document 6.9), Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Amenity (Document 6.11) and Chapter 13 Noise and Vibration (Document 6.13) of this Environmental Statement. The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 10 Archaeology and Cultural Heritage 2 Environmental Statement Document 6.10 2 Legislation and Policy Background 2.1.1 Archaeological and heritage assets represent a finite resource which provides a tangible link to the past. Study and examination of these features can provide a direct link to past society, as well as contribute to our understanding of past society and the development of the landscape. It is therefore important that heritage assets are protected to avoid their destruction, and that appropriate mitigation is provided for any losses that do occur. 2.1.2 This protection is provided by national legislation and policy. National legislation and guidance which is relevant to archaeology and cultural heritage comprises: x Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 (Ref 10.1); x Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (Ref 10.2); x The Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN-1) (July 2011) (Ref 10.3); and x National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (March 2012) (Ref 10.4). 2.1.3 Section 5.8 of The Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN- 1) (Ref 10.3) also provides national guidance on the policy approach that should be taken with regard to the Historic Environment. Confirmation of compliance with the NPS is provided in the following table (Table 1): Table 1 Compliance with NPS (EN-1) Requirements NPS EN-1 Section Covered in ES Section 5.8.8 As part of the ES … the applicant should Assessment of provide a description of the significance of the significance of heritage heritage assets affected by the proposed assets is included in development and the contribution of their setting Section 6.6, and is to that significance.
