Salisbury Plain Army Basing Programme 8. CULTURAL Salisbury Plain Army Basing Programme 8. CULTURAL HERITAGE 8.1 Introduction This chapter presents an outline appraisal of known cultural heritage assets within the various sites that form part of the Army Basing Programme on Salisbury Plain. It also assesses the potential impacts from the proposed developments on the cultural heritage resource which consists of archaeology, built heritage and the historic landscape. This chapter represents the environmental appraisal of the recommended site options for the SFA, garrison sites and training areas. The impact assessment of the now discarded sites is preserved in Appendix 8C. 8.2 Policy Context Prior to 2006, developments on MOD land were subject to Crown Immunity and therefore not subject to planning legislation. Crown Immunity was revoked in 2006 and ensured that the Crown was required to comply with the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive (DCLG Circular 02/2006) 1. The removal of Crown Immunity means that developments where there may be an impact upon the character or fabric of a listed building are now subject to the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 2 and are required to apply for listed building consent. The Act imposes a duty on the Secretary of State to compile lists of buildings of special architectural or historic interest. In consideration of proposals within the setting of Listed Buildings, the 1990 Act establishes a requirement to have special regard to the desirability of preserving that setting (Section 66). Section 72 of the 1990 Act establishes a desirability to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of a conservation area. A conservation area is an area of local interest designated principally by the Local Planning Authority. Crown Immunity is still in force with regards to the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 3. This removes the requirement for Scheduled Monument Consent with regards to applications which directly impact upon a Scheduled Monument. It is MOD policy to replace this with a requirement for Scheduled Monument Clearance (under CLG 02/06). This is a more streamlined process which takes into consideration the specific requirements of Crown Land but remains as a formal application process to English Heritage and the Secretary of State who will respond directly to applications. This also provides the opportunity to establish Standing Clearance Permissions, an agreement between the MOD and English Heritage and the Secretary of State, which defines categories of minor works which can be undertaken without making an application for specific Scheduled Monument Clearance, providing they adhere to the terms of the Standing Clearance agreement. English Heritage is enabled by Section 8C of the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monuments Act 1953 4 (introduced by paragraph 10 of Schedule 4, of the National Heritage Act 1983 5) to 1 DCLG 2006, Crown Application of the Planning Acts Circular 02/2006 . 2 Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

OVERARCHING ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL CULTURAL HERITAGE 8-1 Salisbury Plain Army Basing Programme compile a Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England. Although designated of national interest, a park or garden on the register is not otherwise statutorily protected, although Local Planning Authorities are required to include policies for their protection in their Local Plan. The principles of the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986 6 may apply to any previously unidentified military aircraft crash site discovered as part of the baseline studies. If this does occur, the wreckage will not be disturbed unless necessary. If disturbance is required to allow development to proceed, the regulations of the Act will be followed in full. 8.2.1 Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill 2013 The Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill was passed in 2013. The bill brings in a number of legal reforms in relation to the historic environment, particularly listed buildings and conservation areas. The aim is to make heritage protection more efficient and effective by removing legislative burdens. The main tenets of the bill include the simplification of conservation area consent by removing the requirement for separate applications for both planning consent and for conservation area consent. It also addresses listed buildings through the improvement of listing descriptions to identify which elements are significant, allowing other elements to be specifically excluded. Further reform will see the establishment of Listed Building Orders which will enable the authorisation of particular schemes of work without a requirement for Listed Building Consent. 8.2.2 National and Local Policy National Planning Policy Framework (2012) 7 The NPPF sets out Government planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. Section 12 of the NPPF sets out the importance of being able to assess the significance of heritage assets that may be affected by a development. Significance is defined in Annex 2 as being the, “ value of an asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest. This interest may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic interest .” The definition of significance provided in Annex 2 also clearly states that significance is not only derived from an asset’s physical presence, but also from its setting. The setting of a heritage asset is defined in Annex 2 as, “ the surroundings in which a heritage asset is experienced. Its extent is not fixed and may change as the asset and its surroundings evolve .” Paragraphs 128 and 129 of the NPPF state that when determining applications, local authorities should require an applicant to describe the significance of assets that may be affected by a development, to a level of detail that is proportionate to their importance and that is no more than sufficient to understand the potential impact on their significance; this should also include assets where their setting may be affected by a proposal. Paragraph 132 recognises that heritage assets are irreplaceable and that where proposed development may impact on the significance of designated heritage assets, great weight should be placed on its conservation; the more important the asset, the greater the weight 5 National Heritage Act 1983. TSO. London 6 Protection of Military Remains Act 1986. TSO. London. 7 National Planning Policy Framework 2012. DCLG. London OVERARCHING ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL CULTURAL HERITAGE 8-2 Salisbury Plain Army Basing Programme should be. Substantial harm to or loss of assets of the highest significance, for example scheduled monuments, registered battlefields, Grade I and II* listed buildings, registered parks and gardens and World Heritage Sites should be wholly exceptional. The NPPF notes that alteration or destruction of a heritage asset or development within its setting can harm its significance. Where substantial harm is found, substantial public benefits must be achieved to outweigh this loss. The NPPF sets out four tests in paragraph 133 for local authorities to consider when assessing applications of this nature. The NPPF states that the effect of a planning application on non-designated heritage assets should be taken into account when considering the application. Paragraph 135 sets out the need for a balanced judgement between the significance of the heritage assets and the scale of any harm or loss, when considering assets directly or indirectly affected by proposed development. At paragraph 139, the NPPF recognises that non-designated heritage assets of archaeological interest may be of equivalent significance to a scheduled monument. In such cases the NPPF directs that such assets are to be considered subject to the policies for designated assets. Development with the potential to impact upon World Heritage Sites or their setting is addressed in paragraphs 137 and 138. Paragraph 137 states the importance for local planning authorities to treat more favourably those proposals which seek to preserve the elements of the setting which make a positive contribution to or better reveal the significance of World Heritage Sites. Paragraph 138 recognises that not all elements of a World Heritage Site contribute to its significance. It requires a local planning authority to carefully look at development proposals which could impact upon World Heritage Sites and if the loss or removal of any part of an element or building which contributes to the significance is proposed, the test of substantial or less than substantial harm of paragraphs 132 and 133 should apply as appropriate to the asset, and its contribution to the overall significance. Conversely then, the removal of a structure or element which does not contribute to the overall significance should be viewed more favourably, under the guide of paragraph 137. National Planning Policy Guidance (2014) 8 The NPPG was published as a web-based resource in March 2014. This document provides up to date advice for the application of the policies within the NPPF. Guidance related to heritage issues is provided in the conserving and enhancing the historic environment section of the guide. The NPPG starts by reiterating the importance of conserving the historic environment as stated in the NPPF: “ Protecting and enhancing the historic environment is an important component of the National Planning

  • Cyril F Carey's Story
    ANZAC DAY 2014 - Commemoration The Christchurch earthquakes have shaken our lives and our memories. They have also unearthed many stories and it is thanks to the vigilance of a demolition crew that they did not throw away the tattered scrapbook found in the debris of a house last year but returned it to its family. That scrapbook provided the basis for the commemoration today. Lieutenant Cyril Fuller Carey Died of wounds November 7th 1916 Sling Camp, Salisbury Plain, England Cyril Fuller Carey was born in 1891, the second son of Mr and Mrs A F Carey, owners of Carey’s Ready Money store in Christchurch with Mr Carey being a well-known draper. Cyril attended Christchurch Boys’ High School in 1906 and 1907 and left school to join the Union Steam Ship Company as a cadet on the training ship Dartford. He trained at sea for several years and in 1912 left to follow ‘farming pursuits near Blenheim’. The outbreak of war saw Cyril join up, and while little is known of his training, he is listed as a Second Lieutenant in the 12th(Nelson) Infantry Regiment which left New Zealand in March 1916 as part of the 10th Reinforcements of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. The regiment spent a brief time in Egypt before moving to England to a camp on the Salisbury Plain known as Sling Camp. This was home to over 4000 NZ troops and served as a training ground for troops being sent to France and as a rehabilitation centre. The site is now overlooked by the Bulford Kiwi, carved by the soldiers into the limestone hill above the camp.

  • Of 10 Army Basing Briefing Note for Town And
    Army Basing Briefing Note for Town and Parish Councils - Updated June 2016 Purpose: To advise Town and Parish Councils to be affected by the British Army Basing programme of further progress on the MOD’s Army Basing plans. Background: The Army Basing Review1 announced by the Secretary of State for Defence on 5 March 2013, takes its lead from the new Army 2020 Plan outlined in July 20122 . It comprises two key elements: 1. Reaction Forces – at readiness, capable of war-fighting 2. Adaptable Forces – capable of persistent engagement at home and overseas In addition, Force Troops Brigades will provide a range of capabilities (engineer, artillery and medical support) from a centralised pool of resources to support the above, as well as a coordination and control function for key tasks, e.g. overseas capacity building. The Basing Plan, which commenced implementation in 2014, relocates a number of army units throughout the UK as well as relocating all units from Germany by 2020.on completion of the programme the Regular Army will consist of 82,000 personnel. Army Basing In Wiltshire: Following the Army Basing Review, undertaken by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and released in March 2013, the MOD has announced that the Reaction Force Brigade Headquarters will be centred on the Salisbury Plain Training Area, with three Armoured Infantry Brigades. The Salisbury Plain Training Area is the only place in the country where the Army can carry out complex and demanding training exercises. It is envisaged, however, that there will only be a marginal increase in training activity on the Salisbury Plain due to the training area’s finite capacity and the MOD’s undertaking not to compromise the environmental sustainability of habitats and archaeology.

    „Sentimental Equipment‟: New Zealand, the Great War and Cultural Mobilisation By Steven Loveridge A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Victoria University of Wellington 2013 ‗See that little stream - we could walk to it in two minutes. It took the British a month to walk to it - a whole empire walking very slowly, dying in front and pushing forward behind. And another empire walked very slowly backward a few inches a day, leaving the dead like a million bloody rugs … This western-front business couldn‘t be done again, not for a long time … This took religion and years of plenty and tremendous sureties and the exact relation that existed between the classes. …You had to have a whole-souled sentimental equipment [emphasis added] going back further than you could remember… This kind of battle was invented by Lewis Carroll and Jules Verne and whoever wrote Undine, and country deacons bowling and marraines in Marseilles and girls seduced in the back lanes of Wurtemburg and Westphalia. Why, this was a love battle - there was a century of middle-class love spent here … All my beautiful lovely safe world blew itself up here with a great gust of high explosive love‘.1 1 F.
