There are 12 sites within the District that are included in the Register ofParks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England.5.16 The District also contains four recognised Local Historic Parks and Gardens. Thesesites are of local interest, (not included on the national register) which display evidenceof designated landscapes that are of local interest and any proposals, which affect thesite or setting, should demonstrate a clear understanding of the original design andlayout.Archaeology5.17 Archaeological remains are a non-renewable resource, often very fragile and vulnerableto damage and destruction. Bradford possesses a rich archaeological heritage,particularly in the north of the District. It is important that this heritage is adequatelyprotected.The replacement UDP aims to protect three categories of archaeological areas, identifiedby the West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Services (WYAAS), which are registered inthe County Sites and Monuments Record. These are:Class IScheduled Ancient Monuments and their settings. These are nationallyrecognised.Class IIAreas of Special Archaeological Value, where evidence exists toindicate the presence or probability or remains of archaeological value.Class IIIAreas of Archaeological Value, where evidence exists to indicate thepresence of probability of remains of archaeological value.5.18 The following replacement UDP policies should also be referred to: BH18 and BH19.The Conservation Areas and Scheduled Ancient Monuments are shown on Figure 2:Cultural Heritage Map.Landscape Character Supplementary Planning DocumentOctober 2008 Page 13
