Description: Archaeological Notification Areas (ANAs) are alert mapping based on data held within the East Sussex Historic Environment Record (ESHER). Their primary purpose is to trigger consultation with the East Sussex County Council Archaeology Section and the HER (county.HER@eastsussex.gov.uk). It should be noted, however, that ANAs define presently known and recorded areas of heritage sensitivity and that further presently un-recorded archaeological and historic interest may exist outside ANAs. In the development management process alert mapping helps to meet the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework (128) where it is stated: ‘as a minimum the relevant historic environment record should have been consulted and the heritage assets assessed using appropriate expertise where necessary. Where a site on which development is proposed includes or has the potential to include heritage assets with archaeological interest, local planning authorities should require developers to submit an appropriate desk-based assessment and, where necessary, a field evaluation.’.
Description: Historic buildings and archaeological sites of national importance are given legal protection by being placed on a ‘Schedule’ of monuments. Historic England identifies and advises on these monuments, which are placed on the Schedule by the DCMS. Examples of Scheduled Monuments are Roman remains, burial mounds, castles, bridges, earthworks, the remains of deserted villages, and industrial sites. Scheduled Monuments can not include ecclesiastical or residential buildings (except for associated caretaker’s dwellings), and unlike Listed Buildings they are not assigned grades.
