There are three Scheduled Monuments consisting of prehistoric cup, ring and groove marked rock carvings to the north west of the site, with the closest located around 85 metres from the site. Rombalds Moor is particularly rich in remains of prehistoric activity, with one of the densest concentrations of prehistoric rock carvings
in upland Britain.
Before allocating this site for development:
(1) An assessment needs to be undertaken of the contribution which this site makes to those elements which contribute towards the significance of the Listed Buildings in its vicinity, and what impact the loss of this undeveloped site and its subsequent development might have upon their significance.
(2) If it is considered that the development of this site would harm elements which contribute to the significance of the Listed Buildings, then the measures by which that harm might be removed or reduced need to be effectively tied into the Plan.
(3) If, at the end of the process, it is concluded that the development would still be likely to harm elements which contribute to the significance of these Listed Buildings, then this site should not be allocated unless there are clear public benefits that outweigh the harm (as is
required by NPPF, Paragraph 195 or 196).
