ENP-G3: Archaeology and the Historic Environment

All development proposals shall have regard to the potential impact on the historic environment and the Effingham Conservation Area and should conserve heritage assets (designated and nondesignated and including non-designated archaeological remains) in a manner appropriate to their significance, including any contribution made by their setting.

Proposals that could have an impact on a heritage asset are required to demonstrate the asset’s importance and potential impact on its significance and how any harm has been avoided or minimised. As a minimum the relevant historic environment record should be consulted.

Proposals are required to demonstrate that they avoid or minimise harm through impacts on non-designated archaeological remains recorded either in Surrey County Council’s Historic Environment Record and or in records concerning the Area of High Archaeological Potential set out in the Guildford Local Plan.
