Strategic Environmental Assessment: Environmental Report<br />

Issue: Legislative and regulatory process of protection<br />

Objective 1.2<br />

Ongoing inclusion of the<br />

ANTONINE WALL WHS<br />

in the preparation and<br />

implementation of all<br />

planning, regulatory and<br />

policy documents by central<br />

and local government,<br />

which may affect it<br />

Objective 1.3<br />

Monitoring the<br />

effectiveness of the SPG in<br />

planning and protection<br />

decision making across all<br />

Partners’ organisations<br />

This group of objectives focus<br />

on protecting the OUV of the<br />

site, and will be neutral in terms<br />

effects on biodiversity, flora<br />

and fauna. <strong>The</strong> objectives are<br />

not expected to affect the way<br />

in which other PPS might deliver<br />

positive effects for this SEA topic.<br />

Objective 1.4<br />

Capacity Building to<br />

ensure that knowledge and<br />

understanding of the OUV<br />

of the World Heritage Site<br />

remains current amongst<br />

decision makers<br />

Issue: Risk Preparedness<br />

Objective 1.5<br />

Development of a risk<br />

strategy, and associated<br />

mitigation measures<br />

Objective 1.6<br />

Development of an agreed<br />

approach, nationally<br />

and internationally, to<br />

gathering and monitoring<br />

information on<br />

condition survey, and for<br />

implementing appropriate<br />

plans to counter any<br />

emergent problems<br />

?<br />

This group of objectives does<br />

not specify the scope of the<br />

risk strategy or approach to<br />

monitoring, and so the extent<br />

to which there might be effects<br />

on biodiversity, flora and fauna<br />

is uncertain.<br />

which there might be effects on<br />

these material asset objectives<br />

is uncertain.<br />

This group of objectives will<br />

have a positive effect on the<br />

protection of the cultural<br />

heritage of the site, and will<br />

promote appreciation and<br />

understanding. However, it is not<br />

anticipated that effects will be<br />

significantly more positive than<br />

the current baseline situation in<br />

this context.<br />

It is known that the historic<br />

environment (including historic<br />

landscape) values of the site<br />

are key drivers for this group of<br />

objectives. <strong>The</strong> level of positive<br />

benefit will depend to some<br />

extent on the level of risk: the<br />

greater the risks, the more<br />

significant the benefit of risk<br />

preparedness.<br />

It is known that the historic<br />

environment (including historic<br />

landscape) values of the site<br />

are key drivers for this group of<br />

objectives and so positive effects<br />

are expected for the historic<br />

aspect of landscape. <strong>The</strong> level<br />

of positive benefit will depend<br />

to some extent on the level of<br />

risk: the greater the risks, the<br />

more significant the benefit of<br />

risk preparedness. <strong>The</strong> extent to<br />

which there would be effects on<br />

other aspects of landscape and<br />

geodiversity are less clear.<br />

<strong>The</strong> overall effects of this group<br />

of objectives will be neutral to<br />

minor positive. No reasonable<br />

alternative objectives or<br />

mitigation options related to this<br />

issue were identified during the<br />

plan making process.<br />

This group of objectives will<br />

have risk preparedness for the<br />

historic environment at its core,<br />

so positive effects are predicted<br />

for cultural heritage objectives<br />

and some aspects of landscape.<br />

<strong>The</strong> level of significance of these<br />

effects is not yet clear, and may<br />

change over time.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is potential for<br />

positive effects on the other<br />

environmental topics, provided<br />

that they are taken into<br />

consideration as the risk strategy<br />

and monitoring approach are<br />

developed.<br />

Recommendation: the<br />

sustainability checklist should be<br />

applied to actions which ensue<br />

from these objectives.<br />
