ESC as esta lis ed in and its Cons t on de lares t at ‘since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed’

e overriding r ose o t e organisa on is “to contribute to peace and security by promoting collaboration among nations through education, science and culture in order to further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms which are affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion”.

ne o ESC s roles is it res e t to t e rote on o nat ral and lt ral eritage and to ens re t at t e onserva on o sites and on ents ontri tes to so ial o esion “Insofar as monuments and sites are also spaces for sustainable development

and reconciliation, UNESCO coordinates actions of its partners by administering the World Heritage Convention (1972)”.

e l e tage n en n

ESC rt er states t at “Reflecting the natural and cultural wealth that belongs to all of humanity, World Heritage Sites and monuments constitute crucial landmarks for our world. They symbolize the consciousness of States and peoples of the significance of these places and reflect their attachment to collective ownership and to the transmission of this heritage to future generations.”

“What makes the concept of World Heritage exceptional is its universal application. World Heritage Sites belong to all the peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity.“

“In regarding heritage as both cultural and natural, the Convention reminds us of the ways in which people interact with nature, and of the fundamental need to preserve the balance between the two.”

e Conven on sets o t t e g idan e or no ina on and on e ins ri ed anage ent o World Heritage Sites n t is onte t ESC s World Heritage ission is to

• encourage States Parties to establish Management Plans and set up reporting systems on the state of conservation of their World Heritage Sites;

• help States Parties safeguard World Heritage properties by providing technical assistance and professional training;

• provide emergency assistance for World Heritage Sites in immediate danger; • support States Parties’ public awareness-building activities for World Heritage

conservation; • encourage participation of the local population in the preservation of their cultural and

natural heritage; • encourage international cooperation in the conservation of our world’s cultural and

natural heritage.

e i li a ons o eing on t e World Heritage ist are t at ro er es ave “Outstanding Universal Value”; a “cultural and/or natural significance which is so exceptional as to transcend national boundaries and to be of common importance for present and future generations of all humanity. As such, the permanent protection of this heritage is of the highest importance to the international community as a whole”

1) The Site includes a near-continuous sequence of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous rock exposures, representing almost the entire Mesozoic Era (between 250 and 65 million years ago), approximately 185 million years of Earth history. (See Figure 1).

2) It contains a range of internationally important Mesozoic fossil localities, including at Charmouth and Lyme Regis, Kimmeridge Bay, the ‘Isles’ of Portland and Purbeck, and Durlston Bay.

3) It contains a great variety of ‘textbook’ geomorphological features, including landslides such as Black Ven or Hooken, stacks such as Ladram Bay, rock arches such as Durdle Door and the most studied barrier beach anywhere in the world, Chesil beach.

S e i re eren e to t e rote on o World Heritage Sites is ade in aras ota l states “When considering the impact of a proposed development on

the significance of a designated heritage asset, great weight should be given to the asset’s conservation. The more important the asset, the greater the weight should be. Significance can be harmed or lost through alteration or destruction of the heritage asset or development within its setting. As heritage assets are irreplaceable, any harm or loss should require clear and convincing justification… Substantial harm to or loss of designated heritage assets of the highest significance, notably scheduled monuments, protected wreck sites, battlefields, grade I and II* listed buildings, grade I and II* registered parks and gardens, and World Heritage Sites, should be wholly exceptional”.

n addi on to t e rote on oli ies in ara t e also osi vel s ggests t at “Local planning authorities should look for opportunities for new development within Conservation Areas and World Heritage Sites and within the setting of heritage assets to enhance or better reveal their significance. Proposals that preserve those elements of the setting that make a positive contribution to or better reveal the significance of the asset should be treated favourably”

t s o ld e noted t at ara states “Not all elements of a World Heritage Site or Conservation Area will necessarily contribute to its significance. Loss of a building (or other element) which makes a positive contribution to the significance of the Conservation Area or World Heritage Site should be treated either as substantial harm under paragraph 133 or less than substantial harm under paragraph 134, as appropriate, taking into account the relative significance of the element affected and its contribution to the significance of the Conservation Area or World Heritage Site as a whole.” n s ases ere t is assess ent o signi an e is re ired t e Steering ro or t e artners i ill need to e res onsi le or ens ring t at a rate in or a on is ade availa le to a e t is assess ent

“When developing Local Plan policies to protect and enhance World Heritage Sites and their Outstanding Universal Value, local planning authorities, should aim to satisfy the following principles:

• protecting the World Heritage Site and its setting, including any buffer zone, from inappropriate development

• striking a balance between the needs of conservation, biodiversity, access, the interests of the local community, the public benefits of a development and the sustainable economic use of the World Heritage Site in its setting, including any buffer zone

• protecting a World Heritage Site from the effect of changes which are relatively minor but which, on a cumulative basis, could have a significant effect

• enhancing the World Heritage Site and its setting where appropriate and possible through positive management

• protecting the World Heritage Site from climate change but ensuring that mitigation and adaptation is not at the expense of integrity or authenticity Planning authorities need to take these principles and the resultant policies into account when making decisions.”
