The podcast addresses heritage significance in planning applications involving heritage assets, aligning with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). It emphasizes understanding an asset's archaeological, architectural, artistic, or historic interest to appropriately analyze its significance. The podcast underscores the importance of expert analysis when significance isn't obvious, detailing methods like exploratory works and setting assessments. It also outlines a staged approach to heritage-related consent applications, advocating for assessing significance before designing proposals to avoid abortive work and delays. The discussion also covers the recommended structure for Statements of Heritage Significance, including sections on introduction, heritage asset and its significance, impact on significance, avoiding harmful impact, justification for the proposal, and recording. A scenario involving a Victorian house refurbishment is presented to contextualize the concepts discussed.
