Appendix 15A: Cultural Heritage Desk- Based Assessment Application Reference EN010114 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview 1.1.1 This Cultural Heritage Desk Based Assessment presents the results of research undertaken to identify known heritage assets within a defined study area surrounding the Proposed Development Site. It assesses the potential for as yet unknown archaeological remains to be present within the Proposed Development Site and the planning and legislative framework within which decisions affecting heritage assets are made. This report forms the cultural heritage baseline for the preliminary assessment of temporary and permanent impacts on cultural heritage which is presented in Chapter 15: Cultural Heritage (PEI Report Volume
