Cumulative Effects Assessment 13.77 Cumulative effects not considered likely from this receptor. Mitigation/Enhancement Recommendations 13.78 A number of mitigation and enhancement to the then emerging Core Strategy were suggested to the policy team as a result of the Level 2 considerations in October 2009 and July 2012 (See: Appendix 2). These have either been integrated and accounted for in this version of the Local Plan or noted by the Policy Team. 13.79 Within the Level 3 Appraisals and Level 4 Assessments it was noted that development might be restrained through locations principles. It is argued that this may be a minor factor as the policy sets encourages a variety of development. 13.80 Within this SAR it is suggested that potential negative effects might be noted for the built environment in relation to prevention of development other than residential. However this is not considered significant as other development is encouraged within Runnymede.

Section 14. Introduction [ER09] Historic Environment and Archaeology 14.1 The historic environment can be defined as archaeological assets (both known and unknown) alongside sites, structures, and features of historic significance and value. This receptor captures the factor of ‘cultural heritage including architectural and archaeological heritage’ as required by the SEA Directive and UK SEA Regulations and incorporates a number of SA sustainable development objectives as outlined in Table 85. 14.2 The historic environment and archaeology receptor is at risk from land take, disturbance, and adverse air quality. Applicable SA/SEA Objective/Factor Table 85 – Applicable SA/SEA Objective/Factor to ER09 Objective/Factor Relevant SA Objective(s) No. Title Status SO08 To encourage increased engagement in cultural activity across all sections of the community in Runnymede and promote sustainable tourism G SO20 To protect and enhance the borough’s countryside and historic environment G Relevant SEA Factor(s) FA11 Cultural Heritage including Architectural and Archaeological Heritage G Current Policy Context 14.3 There is a range of policies relevant to welfare, health and well being at the international, national, regional and local level. The key policy documents are set out below and summarised in Table 86 – ER09 Policy Context Summary. Table 86 – ER09 Policy Context Summary Strategic Context – Sources of relevant objectives and goals Local Plan Relevant objectives and comment [ER09] Historic Environment and Archaeology International Policy: Valetta Convention (Archaeological) UK Policy: Biodiversity Strategy for England, Good Practice Guide on Planning for Tourism, UK Climate Change Programme, White Paper: Planning for a Sustainable Future, The Historic Environment: A Force for our Future, Thames Waterway Plan and Sustainable Communities: Building for the Future Regional Policy: South East Plan, South East Regional Minerals Strategy, Regional Minerals Strategy for Waste and Minerals Surrey Policy: The Surrey Waste Plan, Surrey Urban Habitat Action Plan, Surrey’s Countryside The Future Action Plan Rural Strategy, Surrey Woodland Habitat Action Plan, Surrey Biodiversity Action Plan, Surrey Wetland Habitat Action Plan, Surrey Climate Change Strategy, Surrey Local Transport Plan, Surrey Heritage Strategy. Runnymede Policy: Runnymede Sustainable Community Strategy and Corporate Plan European Law: European Directive EIA, European Directive SEA, European Water Framework Directive Objective: ‘Once it is gone – it is gone for good’ protecting historic environments are key policy objectives across a number of geo-political regimes. The Council’s SCS objective to ‘Put Runnymede on the Map’ potentially captures the historic sealing of the Magna Carta event in Runnymede. These objectives are captured in the Local Plan Objective 10. Comment: There are a number of archaeologically and historically valuable assets in Runnymede, none of which are intended to be impacted by the Local Plan. There is potential to facilitate the founding of a Magna Carta Visitor’s Centre, but this is not a Local Plan Policy. Development in Chertsey (LP06) along with impacts of other policy objectives such as minerals extraction coupled with the effects of climate change all with the potential to affect efforts to protect this resource.
