How about the requirement under Policy HE6.1 for all planning applications to include a heritage impact assessment - either in the Design & Access Statement if one of those is rerquired, or as a separate document if there is no D & A Statement.
I work within a large planning consultancy and have seen this being applied in a fairly inconsistent manner as would have been expected. Some LPAs do not seem to have noticed this policy reqirement at all, others want a heritage impact assessment with absolutely every application no matter how small the development (and are therefore in line with the policy), some are selective in requiring this assessment but on no logical basis, some are refusing to register the application if there is no heritage impact assessment (and are therefore in line with the policy), some are registering the application but then stopping the clock until the heritage impact assessment is submitted.
Are there any curators out there who can provide a view on what is happening in their area?
