Overview
The project aimed to produce an enhanced historic environment characterisation for proposed areas of mineral extraction, prior to these being considered at Public Inquiry.
This comprised a detailed desk-based historic environment assessment of all the 21 sites identified as candidates for future extraction and will provide information that will improve the understanding of the implications of mineral extraction at each location.
The project also identifies priorities for further specialist desk-based assessment and field assessment that might be needed to inform the Public Inquiry process. This will enable a holistic characterisation which includes buildings (both standing and relic) historic boudaries, historic routes and archaeology, and will also incorporate the existing Historic Landscape Characterisation data.

The report has been produced by the Historic Environment Unit of Hertfordshire County Council. Funding was provided by English Heritage under the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund. Its is to inform the review of the Hertfordshire Minerals Local Plan and is presented as supporting documentation for the Public Inquiry into the Local Plan. The report provides detailed study of the historic environment (archaeology, historic buildings and historic landscape features) of the key areas that will be considered in the review. However, it should be emphasised that the study is based largely upon existing knowledge and this is not a substitute for the necessary assessment and mitigation that will be required for any minerals areas that are put forward for extraction.
