Whilst this impact of mineral sterilisation could not be mitigated against the Local Authorities would not object to this impact of the development given the minor area of sterilisation. Cultural Heritage and Archaeology Mitigation In principle the Local Authorities consider that a suite of appropriately worded requirements providing for a stage programme of archaeological mitigation including further exploratory investigation, excavation, analysis, archiving, publication and dissemination, will adequately address the impact of development upon their importance and specific significance. In order to secure the future integrity of the affected heritage assets and historic environment, it is essential that the proposals makes all necessary provision for the curation and appropriate treatment of the archaeological archive generated in response to the impact of development. This should include opportunities for public, and particularly local community engagement, and display and presentation of the results. The draft SoCG currently being finalised with the Local Authorities will agree the requirements which would need to be included within the DCO although the general principles of requirement no. 13 are considered to be satisfactory. It is, however, considered that requirement no. 3 is amended to include archaeology as part of the agreed phasing of the development in order to ensure that areas of the site which contain currently unrecorded heritage assets are investigated thoroughly prior to the construction of the development. This is vital to further enhancing and understanding the site’s archaeological significance. As outlined in Paragraph 9.12 the success of the overall landscaping strategy will be paramount to the screening of the development. It should make provision for the identification and recording of significant historic landscape feature, including where possible their integration into the proposals; most significantly, however, it acts as the mitigation for the impacts of the built forms, in particular the warehouses, on the setting of designated heritage assets. The sentiments of Paragraph 9.12 are therefore reiterated and the Local Authorities will continue discussions with the developers in order for this to be achieved as part of the East Midlands Gateway. The agreed landscaping scheme will also assist in the preservation of the setting of the ‘Wymeshead Scheduled Ancient Monument’ which lies within close proximity to the eastern end of the Kegworth bypass where it joins the A6. The importance of this is noted within Paragraph 5, Point 5 of the English Heritage SoCG given that it is acknowledged that the development would result in a change in the setting of this designated heritage asset.
