This waspreceded by three initial meetings between residents and Tom Davies to determine the scope of theproject.

This working group has been approved by the WERA to representboth represent residents across the estate and will report back through the WERA to the community.August 6 th 2019- Group interview with three long-term residents to fill out the community’s timelineat Highgate New Town Phase 1.November 25 th 2019- Draft Presentation and discussion workshop (Autumn 2019)February 15 th – 30 th 2020 – Public review for HNT residents and neighbours2.4.3 Architectural Historian Professor Mark Swenarton the author of Cook’s Camden: the making ofModern Housing (Swenarton 2017) was engaged on the project in August 2019 and provided reviewand support on the historical baseline sections from thereon.2.5 Sources2.5.1 A range of sources were used to assess HNT’s significance and potential in line with best practiceguidance as outlined by Historic England and relevant legislation and guidance as well as currentbest practice examples of Conservation Management. The conservation guidance policies havebeen developed using current guidance from Historic England and other sources (HE 2019).2.6 Assessment Criteria2.6.1 Assessment of significance seeks to identify how particular parts of a site and different periods inits evolution contribute to, or detract from, identified heritage values associated with the site. Thisconsiders the present character of the site based on the chronological sequence of events thatproduced it, and allows management strategies to be developed that sustain and enhance thesignificance of heritage assets.2.6.2 Significance (for heritage policy) is defined in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)Annex 2 as:‘the value of a heritage asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest. Thatinterest may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic. Significance derives not only from aheritage asset’s physical presence, but also from its setting.’2.6.3 Current national guidance for the assessment of the significance of heritage assets is providedby Historic England in the document Conservation Principles, Policies and Guidance for theSustainable Management of the Historic Environment (HE 2008) in which significance is weighed byconsideration of the potential for the asset to demonstrate the following value criteria:Evidential value. Deriving from the potential of a place to yield evidence about past human activity.Historical value. Deriving from the ways in which past people, events and aspects of life can beconnected through a place to the present. It tends to be illustrative or associative.Aesthetic value. Deriving from the ways in which people draw sensory and intellectual stimulationfrom a place.Communal value. Deriving from the meanings of a place for the people who relate to it, or for whomit figures in their collective experience or memory. Communal values are closely bound up withhistorical (particularly associative) and aesthetic values, but tend to have additional and specificaspects.24
