Respondent: Historic England

Whilst we fully support the requirement that applicants fully appraise the environmental impacts of major new energy infrastructure proposals, it needs to be made clear in the supporting text that this also includes consideration of potential impacts on the historic environment. Paragraph 4.34.31, amend third sentence to read:
‘Policy EN10 therefore requires that applicants fully appraise the environmental impacts (including those on the historic environment) and identify any mitigation
measures to be incorporated into the proposal.’
We welcome the requirement for energy infrastructure
proposals to be supported by a full appraisal of the
potential environmental impacts and identify appropriate
mitigation measures. However, we consider it necessary to highlight in the supporting text to the Policy EN10 that this appraisal should also include consideration of the historic environment.
Paragraph 4.34.31, amend the third sentence to read:
‘Policy EN10 therefore requires that applicants fully appraise the environmental impacts (including those on the historic environment) and identify any mitigation
