acknowledge the special character of a locality and this also applies to the
areas adjacent to it that form its setting. The extent of setting will differ
depending upon the location and the nature/scale of proposals. The policy
requires that any application for development in the vicinity of the
conservation area will be expected to show that any visual or functional
relationship between the location and the Conservation Area has been
understood and taken into consideration during the design process.

POLICY BEH3: THE SETTING OF THE
CONSERVATION AREA

Development proposals affecting the setting of the conservation will only
be supported where they are accompanied by an assessment of the
contribution of the land to the setting of the Conservation Area, including
its enjoyment, and can demonstrate that the proposals have been designed
to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
and any designated and non-designated heritage assets within it.

Non Designated Heritage Assets: Including “Buildings
of local Note”

statutory designations that offer protection to the Historic Environment. Only a
proportion of heritage assets are protected by statutory designation and the
Neighbourhood Plan seeks to recognise the value of the whole historic
environment through the Neighbourhood Plan process. The Neighbourhood Plan
offers recognition and additional protection to the non-designated heritage assets
that are considered to be of local importance, and are intrinsic to the character
and sense of place.

(Buildings of Local Note) and archaeological sites that have not been deemed
eligible for protection under Listed Buildings or Scheduled Ancient Monument
status but are locally important and distinctive. They contribute to the sense of
place of Ickford and represent the best of the non-statutory designated assets.
Assessment was carried out in line with the criteria listed in Historic England’s
Advice Note 7 Local Heritage Listing. The criteria are as follows:

•Age • Historical Association
• Rarity • Designated Landscape Interest
• Group Value • Landmark status
• Architectural interest • Social and Commercial value
