These shouldn't even be questions or points for discussion. If they are precious pieces of the community then why are we allowing development to put them under threat?

This is really important and should be rigidly enforced. Once historical sites are compromised or destroyed they cannot be re-created

I fully support the policy that development adversely affecting Scheduled Monuments and other important archaeological sites should not be permitted. Additionally, where development impacts a heritage asset with archaeological interest, preservation in-situ should be prioritised. If preservation is not feasible, developers must ensure archaeological excavation and recording are carried out by an approved body, following a Council-approved plan. Given that developers may not always be truthful, it is crucial for the Council to verify these practices and consult local residents, who often possess detailed knowledge about the area, ensuring that the preservation efforts are effective and genuine.

Scheduled monuments and archaeological sites are important in their own right, but like historic buildings, are fascinating to visit, giving time depth to the place.

It is not necessary to build on or over or right next to any scheduled monument. Any archeological sites would presumably have the correct exploration and conservation. This is important for Rochester in particular as not only do we wish to conserve history for future generations but also to preserve the atmosphere and aesthetic of the city.
