Landscape and Heritage

“English Heritage believes that there should be a general presumption against ‘enabling development’ which does not meet all of the following criteria:

• The enabling development will not materially detract from the archaeological, architectural, historic, landscape or biodiversity interest of the asset, or materially harm its setting
• The proposal avoids detrimental fragmentation of management of the heritage asset
• The enabling development will secure the long term future of the heritage asset, and where applicable, it’s continued use for a sympathetic purpose
• The problem arises from the inherent needs of the heritage asset, rather than the circumstances of the present owner or the purchase price paid
• Sufficient financial assistance is not available from any other source
• It is demonstrated that the amount of enabling development is the minimum necessary to secure the future of the heritage asset, and that its form minimises disbenefits
• The value or benefit of the survival or enhancement of the heritage asset outweighs the long-term cost to the community (i.e. the disbenefits) of providing the enabling development.”
