Policy ER15 : Development Affecting the Setting of a ListedBuildingDevelopment proposals will only be permitted where they donot adversely affect the setting of a listed building. Newdevelopment should avoid building in front of importantelevations, felling mature trees and breaching boundary walls.3.34 Listed buildings represent the very best examples both locallyand nationally of particular building types and there is a strongpresumption against demolition in whole or in part. Where proposalsfor demolition are put forward considerable supporting evidence willbe required as part of any application for Listed Building Consent.Policy ER16 : Demolition of Listed BuildingsThere will be a presumption against the demolition of listedbuildings. applications for consent to demolish a listedbuilding will only be considered where:Listed Building ConsentA legal requirement whichauthorises work to listedbuildings.(a) it has been demonstrated through a detailed structural andfeasibility report that the condition of the building makes itimpractical to repair, renovate or adapt it to any reasonablybeneficial use for which planning permission would begranted; and(b) there is evidence that all reasonable efforts have beenmade to sustain the existing use or find a viable andacceptable new use or uses for the building includingmarketing of the building nationally for at least 6 months;and(c) detailed planning permission for the reuse of the site,including any replacement building or other structure hasbeen granted.Submission of the necessary information does not imply thatconsent for demolition will be automatically granted.In most cases demolition will only be permitted where work onthe erection of a replacement building is to start immediatelyfollowing the date of demolition or other such period as may beagreed with Angus Council.Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites3.35 Angus has a rich heritage of archaeological remains rangingfrom crop marks and field systems through to structures such asstanding stones, hill forts, castles and churches. They are evidenceof the past development of society and help us to understand andinterpret the landscape of today. They are a finite and nonrenewableresource to be protected and managed.NPPG 5: Planning andArchaeology (1994)Sets out the role of the planningsystem in protecting ancientmonuments and archaeologicalsites and landscapes. TheGovernment seeks to encouragethe preservation of our heritageof sites and landscapes ofarchaeological and historicinterest. The development plansystem provides the policyframework for meeting the needfor development along with theneed for preservingarchaeological resources.Angus Local Plan Review70Finalised Plan
3.36 Sites considered to be of national importance are scheduledby Scottish Ministers as Ancient Monuments. There are over 200such sites in Angus with additional sites regularly being incorporatedinto the List. In addition, there are other monuments of regional orlocal significance. All of these sites and monuments, whetherscheduled or not, are fragile and irreplaceable.3.37 The owner or occupier of a scheduled ancient monument isrequired to obtain consent from Historic Scotland for repairs,alterations, demolition, or any work affecting the monument. Inorder therefore to protect the scheduled monument any planningapplication that may affect it will be notified to Historic Scotland andtheir comments taken into account in determining developmentproposals.PAN 42 : Archaeology – thePlanning Process andScheduled MonumentProcedure (1994)Archaeological remains offer atangible, physical link with thepast. They are a finite and nonrenewableresource containingunique information about ourpast and the potential for anincrease in future knowledge.Such remains are part ofScotland’s identity and arevaluable both for their own sakeand for education, leisure andtourism. The remains are oftenfragile and vulnerable to damageor destruction; care musttherefore be taken to ensure thatthey are not needlesslydestroyed.Policy ER17 : Archaeological Sites of National ImportancePriority will be given to preserving Scheduled AncientMonuments in situ. Developments affecting Scheduled AncientMonuments and other nationally significant archaeologicalsites and historic landscapes and their settings will only bepermitted where it can be adequately demonstrated that either:Scheduled Ancient Monument(SAM):The site of a scheduledmonument and any othermonument which in the opinionof the Scottish Ministers is ofpublic interest by reason of itshistoric, architectural, traditional,artistic or archaeologicalinterest.a) the proposed development will not result in damage to thescheduled monument or site of national archaeologicalinterest or the integrity of its setting; orb) there is overriding and proven public interest to be gainedfrom the proposed development that outweighs thenational significance attached to the preservation of themonument or archaeological importance of the site. In thecase of Scheduled Ancient Monuments, the developmentmust be in the national interest in order to outweigh thenational importance attached to their preservation; andc) the need for the development cannot reasonably be met inother less archaeologically damaging locations or byreasonable alternative means; andd) the proposal has been sited and designed to minimisedamage to the archaeological remains.Where development is considered acceptable and preservationof the site in its original location is not possible, the excavationand recording of the site will be required in advance ofdevelopment, at the developer’s expense.3.38 While the best examples of valuable archaeological sites aredesignated of national importance there are numerous examples ofhistoric sites in both urban and rural areas that are of localsignificance. There are also other sites where finds may have beenmade in the past but no remains are known to date.Angus Local Plan Review71Finalised Plan
