Abstract:
The following sources were used to gather the baseline: ● A search of the Historic England (HE) National Heritage List for England (NHLE) database for designated heritage assets (Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, Conservation areas, World Heritage Sites, Registered Battlefields and Registered Parks and Gardens) within 500m of the site area following the course of the River Irwell; ● A search of the GMAAS HER database, for non-designated heritage assets within 250m of the site area following the course of the River Irwell; ● Historic Landscape, rural and urban Characterisation (HLC); ● Historic map regression exercise including Ordnance Survey maps, tithe maps and older; ● An examination of local, regional and national planning policies in relation to the historic environment; ● Aerial photographs (vertical and oblique); ● An inspection of EA LiDAR data relevant to the site; ● An assessment of relevant published and unpublished archaeological sources including via the Archaeological Data Service (ADS), maintained online by the University of York for previous archaeological surveys and investigations; ● The North-west Regional Research Agenda; ● Geology of the site from the British Geological Survey, borehole logs or geotechnical investigation results; and ● Information on previous impacts to the site (previous developments, contaminated land and natural erosion). This report has outlined the cultural heritage baseline within the study area and a heritage statement (also known as a statement of significance) for four key heritage assets to understand the heritage and archaeological constraints in relation to the Radcliffe and Redvales flood risk management scheme (FRMS). It is designed to inform the planning submission(s) to help avoid, mitigate and justify design work which may adversely impact the historic environment. The proposed works represent crucial safety improvement to properties, people and the infrastructure of Radcliffe and Redvales and will have no physical or permanent impact on designated heritage assets. Works will be confined to the surrounding area of the assets and thus impact their settings only. These works do not require listed building consent. There would be an impact on the setting of the church of St Mary and St Bartholomew and the graveyard and scheduled ancient monument and Grade I listed building of Radcliffe Tower from construction of linear defences and construction routes which will disrupt views from the church and can be seen from the graveyard. Good design through material and height consideration and appropriate landscaping will seek to ensure views to and from the church are not compromised. The linear defences will create beneficial impacts of positive flood protection for a regionally and nationally important heritage asset and any change to their setting is therefore considered to represent less than substantial harm. The relationship between the church and tower will not be compromised by the work which forms the most important element of their significance and collective historical setting. Hardy’s Gate Bridge, Hutchinson’s Goit and Bealey’s Goit are considered low value assets. The proposed works will involve alteration or full removal and therefore total loss of the assets. The works would impact the aesthetic value of the assets, however the functional value of these assets which represent key elements of the assets significance including carrying Dumers Lane over the River Irwell and improving the flow of Hutchinson’s goit channel will remain unaffected. As they are not listed and not identified as non-designated heritage assets on the Historic Environment Record (HER) further historic building recording will record the assets current form by partially mitigating the loss.
