Dover District Council 142 Land Allocations Local Plan Adopted 2015 1.3 The Retail Update identified that proposals for comparison floorspace over 500 square metres of gross floorspace should be accompanied by an impact assessment. Guidance on Heritage Assets 1.4 The primary purpose of the Heritage Strategy is to identify, group and understand the value of the District’s heritage assets. The Heritage Strategy is available on the Council's website www.dover.gov.uk/landallocations. The Strategy, however, considers a wide range of issues beyond the scope of this Local Plan, this section of the Annex provides additional support to the Heritage Strategy through: Guidance to help make planning decisions; and Promoting a better understanding of heritage assets in the District Guidance for Planning Applications 1.5 The NPPF sets out the Government's policy stance to be considered as part of any planning application and this is considered to be sufficient not to warrant specific policy for heritage assets. 1.6 The starting point in the NPPF is that it is important to understand the value of heritage assets as part of any planning application, whether these are on or close to the site. The NPPF states that Local Planning Authorities should require applicants to describe the significance of any assets affected, including any contribution made by its setting. This assessment would be provided in Heritage Statements that are an integral part of the planning application, describing the significance of any heritage assets affected. Heritage Statements that do not address the above can have result in delays to the assessment and determination of planning applications. 1.7 To assist developers with this requirement, the Heritage Strategy has provided a wealth of information that should be referred to. It has identified and provided a commentary on, thirteen broad themes to identify the numerous individual or groups of assets. Some of these themes have also been broken down into sub-themes. The Heritage Strategy has also assessed the significance of the themes to help applicants meet the requirement in the NPPF. The table below summarises the significance of the thirteen themes. Theme Coastal Process and landscapes Coastal Ports Invasion and Defence Communications Maritime Church Country Houses and Estates Settlement Significance Outstanding Outstanding Moderate to Outstanding Considerable Outstanding Outstanding Considerable Outstanding

These have been set out in the four case studies (Discovery Park, Sandwich; North Deal; Farthingloe, Dover; and Fort Burgoyne & Connaught Barracks), and follow a simple format: Guiding Principles for Heritage Statements 1. Site introduction/the study area - a brief description of the site. 2. Archaeological and Historical Background – a table listing the historical ‘Themes’, the principle assets affected in each theme and type of potential impact. 3. Historic Environment Issues – a list of the issues identified and a brief description of each. 4. Conclusion 1.10 For smaller scale proposals, additional advice on producing Heritage Statements is available on the Council's web site. The knowledge base will also be improved over time with the Conservation Area Character Appraisals and Local Lists. 1.11 Chapter 6 of the Heritage Strategy considers the opportunities for heritage assets in the District, in particular how these can add value to new developments and how they could be used to improve the offer for tourism. Landowners/developers are encouraged to consider the suggestions within their proposals. Promoting better understanding of Heritage Assets 1.12 A key component of the Heritage Strategy is to promote a greater understanding by the Local Authority, landowners and local people of the heritage assets in the District. One of the best ways of raising appreciation of the historic environment, developing a sense of place for communities and helping to sustain and realise the benefits of heritage assets is to engage and encourage local people and groups to take a leading role in heritage activities.
