This policy needs to clarify what the council means at Paragraph 2- a full archaeological assessment in accordance with NPPF guidance to provide a phase I archaeological assessment.

This policy needs to be amended in order to clarify what the Council requires when it refers to, in paragraph 2, a 'full archaeological assessment'. Consistent with NPPF guidance, it is normally only necessary to provide a Phase 1 Archaeological Assessment, in respect of most sites that are considered to be of
archaeological interest. It is only in respect of the most important sites (i.e. scheduled ancient monuments) that a more detailed study, including intrusive investigations, should be required prior to an application being submitted.

In January 2012, Albion Archeaology carried out a limited archeological dig in proximity to the WH development sites. They concluded that there was evidence of a ditch dating to the Bronze Age. Whether the ditch is related to a settlement or a wider field system of that period is unclear but of interest. Therefore it would be contrary to this policy, and in light of Albion Archeology that there may be further such heritage assets that would be of interest to regional research, for the West Horndon development to be approved.

We welcome this policy. In the first paragraph we suggest that the wording is slightly amended to read '...which would adversely affect the significance of a scheduled monument ...'
On page 126 we recommend that the number of scheduled monuments at risk is added as a further indicator. This information is available from the national register published by English Heritage.
ADDITIONAL POLICY
We recommend an additional policy addressing the conservation and enhancement of Registered Parks and Gardens of special Historic Interest.
