DM28 Heritage Assets

Development proposals which may affect the significance of heritage assets in Waltham Forest (both designated and undesignated) or their setting should demonstrate how these assets will be protected, conserved and where appropriate enhanced. A Heritage Statement required under paragraph 128 of the NPPF should accompany all applications that affect heritage assets. In considering proposals, the Council will have regard to the following:

Archaeological Heritage

G) The Council will ensure the preservation, protection and where possible the enhancement of the archaeological heritage of the borough (See Schedule 23 and the Policies Map). Where proposals affect heritage assets of archaeological interest, preference will be given to preservation in situ. However, where loss of the asset is justified in accordance with national policy, the remains should be appropriately recorded, assessed, analysed, disseminated and the archive deposited.
