Information held by the Council andused in the preparation of your Core Strategy / Local Plan is often the starting point for neighbourhood Plans. Other useful information may be available from the Historic Record Centre or local environmental and amenity groups. English Heritage also publishes a wide range of relevant guidance. Links to these can be found in the appendix to this letter.

Plan preparation also offers the opportunity to harness a community's interest in the historic environment by getting them to add to the evidence base, perhaps by creating and or reviewing a local heritage list, inputting to the preparation of conservation area appraisals and undertaking or further deepening historic characterisation studies.

English Heritage has a statutory role in the development plan process and there is a duty on either you as the Local Planning Authority or the Neighbourhood Planning Team to consult English Heritage on any neighbourhood Plan where our interests are considered to be affected as well as a duty to consult us on all Neighbourhood Development Orders and Community Right to Build Orders.

English Heritage will directly advise on proposals with the potential for major change to significant, nationally important heritage assets and their settings. As a national organisation we are able to draw upon our experiences of neighbourhood planning across the country and information on our website might be of initial assistance.

The proposed neighbourhood plan area contains a rich and varied range of historic assets including the complex multi-phase landscape of Stoneleigh Park (registered in grade II* and designated At Risk), the Roman settlement at Glasshouse Wood (a scheduled ancient monument), conservation areas at Stoneleigh and at Ashow and numerous listed buildings. Due account should be taken of the conservation of these assets and their settings in formulating the neighbourhood plan proposals.
