CAST Quarry – Landfill and Mobile Plant Storage APPENDIX H CAST Quarry – Landfill and Mobile Plant Storage APPENDIX H – HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT December 2013 CAST Quarry - Landfill and Mobile Plant Storage 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Context This report must be read in conjunction with the ES which contains: • a detailed description of the site, the site location, and the proposed development; and • associated figures. A full description of the Scheme is given in Section 3 of the ES main text. 1.2 Scope The objective of this report is to identify and, where possible quantify, the potential impacts on the historic environment resource from the Scheme at CAST Quarry. APPENDIX H: HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT December 2013 1 CAST Quarry - Landfill and Mobile Plant Storage APPENDIX H: HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT December 2013 2 CAST Quarry - Landfill and Mobile Plant Storage 2 ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY AND CRITERIA 2.1 Legislation and Guidance This historic environment impact assessment report has been prepared in accordance with current legislation as well as current and emerging national, regional and local planning policies comprising: • Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979; • Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990; • Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2011; • National Planning Policy Framework (2012); In addition, appropriate regard has been paid to the following guidance documents: • Setting of Heritage Assets: English Heritage Guidance (English Heritage 2011) • Conservation Principles, Policies and Guidance (English Heritage 2008). Relevant extracts from the legislation and policy / guidance documents are included in the appraisal of the baseline below. 2.2 Scoping and Consultation In addition to the EIA scoping opinion adopted by NCC, the Historic Buildings Leader of NCC and the County Archaeologist were consulted. They requested that particular consideration be given to the potential effects on the setting of i) Pleasley Conservation Area, ii) St. Chad’s Church (grade II listed) and iii) the scheduled monument of Mansfield Woodhouse Roman Villa. 2.3 Information Sources In order to establish a baseline of evidence proportionate to the proposed scheme, a search of the National Heritage List (English Heritage) was undertaken to locate designated heritage assets including scheduled monuments, listed buildings, registered battlefields, registered parks and gardens and world heritage sites. The Nottinghamshire Historic Environment Record (HER) and the Derbyshire HER were consulted for information on conservation areas and on non-designated assets within the search area including archaeological sites, findspots of archaeological artefacts and buildings of local significance. A site walkover was undertaken by a Heritage Consultant in June 2013 to assess the site and to inform the assessment. The objectives of this survey were to identify: • any further non-designated archaeological sites and/or areas of previous ground disturbance; • further non-designated historic buildings and structures and previously unrecorded historic landscape features; and • provide details of site landform and setting. 2.4 Study Area The study area established for this assessment was defined as that within a 1km radius from the centre of the site. The extent of the study area was determined having regard to the nature of the Scheme and the limited potential for visual impact over a large area (as assessed and described in the LVIA). The study area crossed over the border of two counties, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. APPENDIX H: HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT December 2013 3 CAST Quarry - Landfill and Mobile Plant Storage The heritage assets identified within the study area are listed in Annex H1 and shown on Figure H1. 2.5 Assessment Methodology 2.5.1 Significance Criteria The significance of heritage assets is determined by professional judgement, guided by national and local planning policies and guidance. Paragraph 132 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) recognises that heritage assets with the highest level of significance comprise Scheduled Monuments, registered battlefields, Grade I and II* listed buildings and registered parks and gardens and World Heritage Sites. At paragraph 139 the NPPF also recognises that non-designated heritage assets of archaeological interest may be of equivalent significance to a scheduled monument, and in such cases are to be considered subject to the policies for designated assets. Table 2.1 summarises the factors for assessing the significance (or importance) of heritage assets. TABLE 2.1: FACTORS DETERMINING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HERITAGE ASSETS Significance Criteria Remains of inscribed international importance, such as World Heritage Sites. Grade I and Grade II* Listed Buildings. Grade I and Grade II* Registered Parks and Gardens. Scheduled Monuments. High Registered battlefields Non-designated archaeological assets of schedulable quality and importance. Non-designated buildings, monuments, sites or landscapes that can be shown to have particularly important qualities in their fabric or historical association. Grade II listed Buildings. Conservation Areas. Grade II Registered Parks. Assets of high archaeological resource value as identified through consultation. Moderate Locally listed buildings as recorded on a local authority list Non-designated buildings, monuments, sites or landscapes that can be shown to have important qualities in their fabric or historical association. Historic Townscapes with historic integrity in that the assets that constitute their make-up are clearly legible Non-designated buildings, monuments, sites or landscapes of local importance and of modest quality Locally important historic or archaeological assets, assets with a local value for education or cultural appreciation and of medium archaeological Low resource rating, Assets that are so badly damaged that too little remains to justify inclusion into a higher grade, Parks and gardens of local interest. Assets identified as being of no historic, evidential, aesthetic or communal interest. Not significant Assets whose values are compromised by poor preservation or survival or of contextual associations to justify inclusion into a higher grade. APPENDIX H: HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT December 2013 4 CAST Quarry - Landfill and Mobile Plant Storage 2.5.2 Criteria for establishing magnitude of impact Once a level of significance has been assigned, the magnitude of potential impact from the Scheme is assessed. Potential impacts are defined as a change resulting from the proposed development which affects a heritage asset. These impacts are considered in terms of being either adverse or beneficial and in terms of being direct, indirect or cumulative, constructional or operational. The assessment of impact will include consideration of the setting of a heritage asset, which will vary from case to case and cannot be generically defined. The magnitude of an impact can be judged on a five-point scale. The impact score is arrived at without reference to the importance of the asset and the impact is assessed without taking into account any subsequent mitigation proposals. TABLE 2.2: CRITERIA TO ESTABLISH LEVEL OF IMPACT Significance Criteria Change such that the significance of the asset is totally altered or destroyed. Comprehensive change to setting affecting significance, High resulting in substantial changes in our ability to understand and appreciate the resource and its historical context and setting. Change such that the significance of the asset is affected. Changes such that the setting of the asset is noticeably different, affecting significance Moderate resulting in moderate changes in our ability to understand and appreciate the resource and its historical context and setting. Change such that the significance of the asset is slightly affected. Changes to the setting that have a slight impact on significance resulting in changes Low in our ability to understand and appreciate the resource and its historical context and setting. Changes to the asset that hardly affect significance. Changes to the setting of an asset that have little effect on significance and no real change in our Minimal ability to understand and appreciate the resource and its historical context and setting. The development does not affect the significance of the asset. Changes to No change the setting do not affect the significance of the asset or our appreciation of it. 2.5.3 Significance of Effect Only those assets which may experience a significant effect from the Scheme are considered in this report - to ensure that only assets relevant to the assessment are considered. The assessment of effects has been undertaken in two stages. The magnitude of impact has first been assessed without reference to the sensitivity of the resource. The findings of this assessment have then been cross-referenced to the value of the asset in terms of its sensitivity - in order to categorise the effect that is likely to result from the proposed development. Following the categorisation of effects using this methodology, further consideration of the significance of an effect (and whether or not it requires mitigation) was carried out using professional judgement. Following the initial assessment of effects, mitigation has been considered where necessary to reduce the significance of any adverse effects. Mitigation is used to reduce or compensate for any adverse effects or to enhance positive effects. Re- assessing impact effects after assessing the likely

  • The Works Brass Band – a Historical Directory of the Industrial and Corporate Patronage and Sponsorship of Brass Bands
    The works brass band – a historical directory of the industrial and corporate patronage and sponsorship of brass bands Gavin Holman, January 2020 Preston Corporation Tramways Band, c. 1910 From the earliest days of brass bands in the British Isles, they have been supported at various times and to differing extents by businesses and their owners. In some cases this support has been purely philanthropic, but there was usually a quid pro quo involved where the sponsor received benefits – e.g. advertising, income from band engagements, entertainment for business events, a “worthwhile” pastime for their employees, corporate public relations and brand awareness - who would have heard of John Foster’s Mills outside of the Bradford area if it wasn’t for the Black Dyke Band? One major sponsor and supporter of brass bands, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, was the British Army, through the Volunteer movement, with upwards of 500 bands being associated with the Volunteers at some time – a more accurate estimate of these numbers awaits some further analysis. However, I exclude these bands from this paper, to concentrate on the commercial bodies that supported brass bands. I am also excluding social, civic, religious, educational and political organisations’ sponsorship or support. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a band, composed of workers from a particular company or industry was supported by the business or not. The “workmen’s band” was often a separate entity, supported by a local trade union or other organisation. For the purposes of this review I will be including them unless there is specific reference to a trade union or other social organisation.
