Heritage Impact Assessments for St Albans Local Plan

Open gallery (2)

We produced 20 high-level Heritage Impact Assessments and five standalone detailed Heritage Impact Assessment reports to consider the potential effects of site allocations on both built heritage and belowground archaeology.

The sites varied in size and scale, ranging from 15 dwellings up to the strategic, large-scale Hemel Garden Community site which crosses over into Dacorum District Council. This allocation was the most complex of the standalone studies as it contained five separate allocations which form the garden community site. The Council has recently consulted on its Reg 19 Local Plan, of which Place Services’ HIAs formed part of its evidence base.
