Summary
This Cultural Heritage Asset Management Plan (CHAMP) was undertaken for Highways Agency Managing
Agent Contractor Area 7 (HA MAC Area 7) between July and December 2009. It assesses the condition of
heritage assets within and immediately adjacent to the HA estate, and identifies those that are the
responsibility of the HA and at risk of damage and/or loss of significance due to the environmental, operational
and development impacts of the MAC’s current and predicted programme.
Area 7 comprises approximately 700km of national trunk roads. These comprise the M1 (J15-30), M6 (J1-19),
M45, M69 (J1-M1), A1 Blyth-Stamford, A5 Atherstone-Old Stratford, A6 Alvaston bypass, A14 (Thrapston-M1
J19), A38 (Burnaston-M1 J28), A42 (J11-24), A43 (M40 J10-M1J15a), A45 (Thrapston-M1 J15), A46 (Lincoln-
M1 J21a), A52 (Barrowby to Spondon), and the A453.
Management Action Priorities have been identified in order to ensure that heritage assets are considered as
part of the Managing Agent Contractor’s environmental stewardship responsibilities for the Highways Agency,
fulfilling the Highways Agency’s environmental objectives concerning the protection and enhancement of the
historic environment.
A total of 1189 heritage assets were identified, of which 155 were statutorily designated assets (World Heritage
Sites, listed buildings, scheduled monuments, parks and gardens and historic battlefields). In terms of
management action priorities, the majority of assets (1122; 94.4%) were rated ‘Null’, and no further action is
required as these are non- Highways Agency assets, no longer extant or not capable of visual condition
assessment. A total of 57 assets were rated ‘Green’ and have a low priority; these require a condition review in
24 months. Nine assets were rated ‘Amber’ and have a medium priority; a condition review is required in 12
months and action is needed in the next 24 months. One asset was rated ‘Red’ and has a high priority; action
is needed within the next 12 months.
This report is set out in two parts. Part 1, intended for ready reference, sets out the route Management Action
Plans, three year Management Action Plan and Managing Agent Contractor Area 7 programme of works. Part
2 details the background and method used in preparing the CHAMP, and provides a statistical analysis and
interpretation of the datasets.
The report is accompanied by a CHAMP Area 7 Project Geographical Information System (GIS), designed in
accordance with the Highways Agency Environmental Information System (EnvIS) and populated with a subset
of data from the Highways Agency Geographical Information System (HAGIS). This GIS provides data on the
1189 assets within or adjacent to the Highways Agency estate, including links to condition survey asset visit
sheets and photographs. A copy of the GIS is appended to this report on CD.
Note on spelling
A number of historic assets have been spelled in different ways by different organisations, and also have a
variety of local and regional spellings. These include the Foss/Fosse Way, Icknild/Rycknild/Rycknield Street,
and Alvaston/Elvaston. The spelling depends upon the context of the word; for example, HA place-name
spellings have been retained where HA/MAC programmes are discussed, while NMR/HER/local spellings are
retained when historic assets are discussed, based on cultural heritage data in the HAGIS database.

2 Glossary
Active Traffic Management (ATM) A series of tools such as variable speed limits and hard shoulder running,
used together to make the best use of existing road space to ease congestion, thereby improving the reliability
of journey times
Alluvial Deposits Soil sediments deposited by the action of rivers.
Ancient Woodland Sites that have been continuously wooded since AD1600 in England and Wales, AD1750
in Scotland and AD1830 in Northern Ireland. Some of these woodlands may be primary (i.e. remnants of
prehistoric woodlands) and others will have arisen as secondary woodland on ground previously cleared.
Archaeology The scientific study of past human cultures by analysing the material remains (sites and
artefacts) that people left behind.
Archaeological remains The term generally used to describe the material, including deposits such as soils
and associated artefacts and ecofacts, found on archaeological sites. There is often an overlap with built
heritage where archaeological sites and monuments contain architectural elements although sometimes the
term is used to distinguish between buried soft deposits and built heritage that has architectural elements
and/or upstanding, above-ground archaeology.
Artefact An object or part of an object that has been used or created by a human and provides physical clues
to the activity carried out by humans in the area of discovery. This can range from pottery, metalwork,
woodwork, worked stones through to mortar samples (see also Environmental remains).
Asset An item of cultural heritage property in ownership, guardianship or lease. In terms of asset
management, relates to land and buildings, but may sometimes include other moveable items (see Heritage
asset).
Asset Management The activity that structures the land and building portfolio of an organisation in the best
corporate interest of the organisation.
Asset Management Plan A plan covering the organisation’s asset strategy, together with other related matters
such as repair and conservation standards, major projects, and disposals.
Built heritage An individual (or group thereof) building, structure, monument, installation or remains that is
associated with architectural, cultural, social, political, economic, or military history. Forms part of the cultural
or economic remains of human development. Sites with a built heritage component often also contain below-
ground archaeological remains.
Conservation The process of managing change to a significant place (built or natural) in ways that will best
sustain its significance and heritage values.
Conservation area An area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it
is desirable to preserve or enhance.
Conservation area consent The permission needed to demolish or alter any building or other structure within
a conservation area as designated in a local plan. Approvals are given by the local authority.
Cropmark Evidence of buried archaeological features shown up in variations in crops. Most apparent from the
air.
Cultural heritage Term used to encompass the totality of archaeological sites, historic buildings and historic
landscapes (as defined by the Department for Transport (DfT) and the Highways Agency). An individual
archaeological site(s) or structure(s), a monument or group of monuments, an historic building(s), or historic
landscape(s). The general conference of UNESCO has defined cultural heritage as:
• Monuments: architectural works, works of monumental sculpture and painting, including cave dwellings
and inscriptions, and elements, groups of elements or structures of special value from the point of view
of archaeology, history, art or science
• Groups of buildings: groups of separate or connected buildings, which because of their architecture,
their homogeneity or their place in the landscape, are of special value from the point of view of history,
art or science
• Sites: topographical areas, the combined works of man and of nature, which are of special value by
reason of their beauty or their interest from the archaeological, historical, ethnological or
anthropological point of view. Recommendation concerning the national level protection of the cultural
and natural heritage (UNESCO, 1972).
Cutting A section of road where the surrounding land is at a higher level and the ground has been dug away to
put in the road.
Earthworks Man-made changes in ground level. Assets include boundary banks, fortifications, barrows (burial
mounds), house and garden plots of deserted or shrunken medieval villages and medieval ridge-and-furrow
agricultural cultivation remains.
Enhanced Message System An Electronic Message System that is being piloted as well as the use of gantry
signs across the carriageway
Environmental database A standardised, nationally-consistent database of the Highways Agency's
environmental assets, designed both for operational and strategic purposes. The functions of the database
are: to record and utilise environmental data for cost-effective and environmentally-sound network
management; to enable the Highways Agency to make strategic, statistical analysis of its environmental
resource; and to facilitate monitoring of environmental performance.
Environmental Management Plans Route-based plans currently being produced by Managing Agents which
will deal with the management of all environmental elements on the soft estate.
Environmental remains May include any preserved organic material such as pollen, seeds, insects and any
other animal remains (sometimes replaced by the term ecofact).
Geographical Information System (GIS) System used to input, store, retrieve, manipulate, analyse and
output geographically referenced data. Key components of GIS are:
• Computer system: consists of hardware, software and procedures designed to support data capture,
processing, analysis, modelling and display.
• Geospatial data: can be represented spatially as points, lines or polygons which represent the
geometry of topology, size, shape, position and orientation. Sources of geospatial data include
digitized maps, aerial photographs, satellite images and statistical tables.
• Users: the roles of the user is to select pertinent information, to set necessary standards, to design
cost-efficient updating schemes, to analyse GIS outputs for a relevant purpose and plan the
implementation.
Glacial Till The mixture of rocks, stones, and soil left behind when a glacier melts.
Grade I Listed building or structure of exceptional national interest: protected by legislation.
Grade II* Listed building or structure of particular national importance, of more than special interest: protected
by legislation.
Grade II Listed building or structure that is of special national interest, warranting every effort to preserve it:
protected by legislation
Hard estate Hard surfaces forming part of the HA estate.

Heritage Properties and artefacts of cultural importance handed down from the past (as defined by the
Department of Culture, Media and Sport).
Heritage asset Any component or place which forms part of the historic environment and is assigned cultural
value. Heritage assets include historic buildings and their settings, monuments, memorials, archaeological
remains and designed landscapes.
Heritage value The aspects of worth beyond cost value attached to a particular asset.
Historic environment The currently accepted UK term for the context in which heritage assets are managed.
Section 6.1 of Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 defines the historic environment as “those aspects of the
country that reflect the shaping hand of human history” (PPG15, 1994). Historic environment may come to be
used in place of cultural heritage in Environmental Statements.
Historic Environment Record A record held by planning authorities of all reported (HERs) archaeological
sites and finds, from the prehistoric period to the modern era. The database is constantly kept up-to-date and
is the starting point for most archaeological research, be it for educational or for planning purposes. HERs are
the mainly local authority-based services used for planning, but they also operate a public service and play a
role in education. These records were previously known as Sites and Monuments Records (SMRs), the name
being changed to reflect the wider scope of the data they now contain.
Historic landscapes These comprise type areas and zones within the historic environment that can be
recognised at the macro (or landscape) scale. They maybe designated in some way, such as historic
battlefields and historic parks and gardens, or undesignated zones that preserve important vernacular
landscapes such as ancient field systems, woodland or indeed urban landscapes.
Historic Parks and Gardens These range from town gardens and public parks to the gardens of great country
estates. Organisations such as English Heritage and the National Trust own a number of these but many are
in private ownership. A number of the most important sites have been included on the English Heritage
register of parks and gardens of special historic interest. Although the register has no statutory power,
Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 indicates that the effect of proposed development on a registered park or
garden or its setting is a material consideration in the determination of a planning application. It is important to
protect such sites from new road schemes and new developments.
Hollow-way The line of a routeway, usually disused, eroded into a gully during its use in the past. Some major
routes may be extensive networks of braided tracks running parallel to and crossing over each other. They
often pre-date 18
th
/19
th
century turnpike roads and were commonly used by packhorse and foot traffic, and in
some cases by wagons.
Key Performance Indicators These are features relating to road maintenance, operation and management
(e.g. numbers of road accidents, noise levels, air quality, biodiversity) for which targets have been set by the
Highways Agency (or by the Secretary of State) to ensure that the achievement of aims can be monitored.
Preservation in situ Refers to archaeological remains in their original place, usually in the context of a
mitigation option that results in the preservation in situ of archaeological deposits.
Landscape archaeology Placing sites into a wider context using a full range of archaeological, environmental
and historical information to interpret them on a regional basis on a long-term scale (see also Historic
landscapes).
Landscape Characterisation Data In 1996 the former Countryside Commission and English Nature, with
support from English Heritage, produced The Character of England Map. This map combines English Nature's
Natural Areas and the former Countryside Commission's Countryside Character Areas into a map of 159 Joint
Character Areas (JCAs) for the whole of England. The Countryside Agency published a set of eight regional
volumes describing the 159 JCAs. The JCAs are a widely recognised national spatial framework, used for a
range of applications, from targeting of Defra's Environmental Stewardship scheme to forming part of the data
gathered for Landscape Character Assessments. In addition to this national classification, Local Authorities
produce Landscape Character Assessments which are used to help define landscape and planning policies at
a regional/county and district level.
Listed building Building or structure listed by the Secretary of State as being of ‘special architectural or
historic interest’.
Listed building consent The consent needed to do works to a listed building. This is applied for through the
local authority and is only one of a number of permissions that may be required for any works.
Made Ground Ground that has been in-filled and is not at original ground level.
Mineral railway Former industrial railway serving extractive or manufacturing sites, or linking them to the wider
freight network.
National Monuments Record The English Heritage NMR provides historic environment and archaeological
information services to the public, academics and commercial organisations based on a range of archive and
information resources.
Network The trunk road and motorway network for which the Highways Agency is responsible.
Palaeochannels Deposits of unconsolidated or semi-consolidated sedimentary rocks deposited in ancient,
currently inactive river and stream channel systems.
Public archaeology The presentation of archaeology to the public.
Register of Historic Battlefields A non-statutory designation used by English Heritage to identify historically
important battlefields.
Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest In England, English Heritage compiles a non-
statutory Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest to identify parks or gardens of particular
historical value. The grading system employed for listed buildings are also used for parks and gardens.
Ridge and Furrow Medieval system of field cultivation evidenced by corrugated patterns of parallel low ridges
across fields. In some instances they continued to be used and modified until as late as the 18
th
or early 19
th
centuries. All types of ridge and furrow tend to occur on heavier, thicker soils and survive well where land has
reverted to permanent pasture.
Roman roads Network of roads built by c. AD180, for rapid transport of troops, military supplies and traded
goods. Many of these routes form the backbone of current roads.
Route Management Strategy An open process for planning future investment in the maintenance, operation
and improvement of individual routes, integrating local and regional land and transport interests into the
decision-making process.
Scheduled Monument Sites and monuments deemed to be of national importance, which are given legal
protection by being placed on a list or schedule. English Heritage takes the lead in identifying sites in England
that should be placed on the schedule by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. A schedule has
been kept since 1882 of monuments whose preservation is given priority over other land uses. The current
legislation, the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979, supports this formal system.
Scheduled Monument Consent As defined by the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979,
Scheduled Monument consent is required by law to control any work to a Scheduled Monument. It is a criminal
offence not to obtain consent in advance of works.
Semi-natural woodland Woodland sites which have retained native tree and shrub cover that has not been
planted, although it may have been managed by coppicing or felling and allowed to regenerate naturally.
Sites and Monuments Record A written database archive, often stored and disseminated in Record (SMR)
digital format, of all archaeological sites and find locations from a given area, usually a county. An SMR is
usually maintained by the planning authority and adopted by formal resolution.

3 Management Action Plan
3.1 Methodology and guidance
3.1.1 The condition rating of heritage assets is based on a priority matrix published in DMRB HA 117/08
(see Table 1 below). This table balances the Value (status) and Vulnerability (urgency) of heritage
assets, producing a colour-coded asset condition rating which corresponds to the Management
Action Priority.
Vulnerability
Priority matrix
Robust Adequate Fragile
High Medium High High
Medium Low Medium High
Value
Low Low Low Medium
Table 1 Management Action Priority assessment method (DMRB HA 117/08 table 3.1)
• A Null asset is an asset located within or adjacent to the HA estate, but either not capable
of visual condition assessment (due to absence, destruction or being buried), or not owned
by the HA. This does not mean that they are not vulnerable to environmental, operational
and development impacts, merely that the impact of these activities is not capable of
effective condition assessment (HA IAN 84/07, A11.2 Environmental Management
Information (emi) Records). This category includes:
o Assets that are non-HA assets, not located within the HA estate and/or maintained
by others;
o Assets that are no longer upstanding (though associated below-ground remains
may survive);
o Assets that have no visible remains, such as buried remains and cropmark sites.
• A Green asset is in good condition and no remedial action is needed. However, the asset
should be revisited in 24 months’ time. Heritage asset to be included in the target action
plan for the 3
rd
year.
• An Amber asset is satisfactory in terms of the EnvIS objectives but not fully meeting its
potential, and action is required to bring it up to the required condition. Review condition at
12 months, action needed in the next 24 months. Heritage asset to be included in the
target action plan for the following (2
nd
) year.
• A Red asset is in poor condition and not meeting the objectives set out in EnvIS, and
urgent corrective action is required within 12 months. Heritage asset to be included in the
target action plan for the coming year.
3.1.2 The results of the management action matrix scoring exercise are summarised in the three year
management action plan (see 3.4, Three year management plan).
3.1.3 Typical mitigation measures for each feature class are set out in HA 117/08, Cultural Heritage
Asset Management Plans (tables 12.1-12.6), and in Assessing the Effect of Road Schemes on
Historic Landscape Character (HA 2007). These are summarised in Table 2 below.

3.2 Statistical summary
Management action priorities of heritage assets by level
3.2.1 The condition rating for 87.74% (136) of Level 1 sites and 95.36% (986) of Level 2 sites is Null, as
these assets do not form part of the HA estate, no above-ground remains capable of assessment
were visible, or assets were no longer extant.
3.2.2 A relatively small proportion of sites within MAC Area 7 require any management action. For Level
1 assets, these comprise one ‘Red’ site (0.65%), five ‘Amber’ sites (3.23%) and 13 ‘Green’ sites
(8.39%). The Level 2 assets requiring action comprise 44 ‘Green’ sites and 4 ‘Amber’ sites. Most
of the Level 2 ‘Green’ sites require a review of their condition in 24 months’ time, preferably in
winter when vegetation is low, and, if appropriate, with access arranged.
3.2.3 A total of 19 Level 1 sites (12.27%) and 48 Level 2 sites (4.65%) require management action.
Chart 1 Condition rating of Level 1 assets Chart 2 Condition rating of Level 2 heritage assets

3.2.4 In terms of condition rating, the only route with a Level 1 Red asset is the A45. The A1, A43, A14,
M1 and A38 have amber assets. The A46 and A52 have Green assets, as have the M1 and A5.
Only 19 Level 1 assets (12.26% of all Level 1 assets), require any action, and of these, 13 are
Green (8.39% of all Level 1 assets), five Amber (3.23%), and one, Red (0.65%).

A46 between Lincoln and M1 Junction 21a
Route length 85km
Route history
The A46 follows the course of the Roman Fosse Way between Leicester
and Lincoln, part of the wider Roman route from Exeter to Lincoln. The
northern end of the route, the Lincoln Bypass, was improved in the 1980s.
The dualling of the section between Newark and Lincoln was completed in
2003, and the Newark to Widmerpool Improvement, about 2/3 of which is
offline from the old course following the Fosse Way, is currently under
construction.
Part of the route runs along the ridge south of the Trent, probably a
prehistoric tribal boundary. The HA estate contains elements of
prehistoric boundary banks and burials are relatively frequent along this
‘frontier’ line. The route is characterised by extensive Roman remains,
including scheduled forts and towns at Ad Pontem, Margidunum and
Crococalana. Unimproved sections of the road run close to several
medieval villages and country estates. The lower-lying northern stretches
of the route pass several former Second World War airfields, such as
Newton, RAF Syerston, Swinderby and Skellingthorpe.

A52 between the A1 at Barrowby and Spondon, Derby
Route length 57km
Route history
The A52 follows the course of a former salt route from Nantwich (Ches),
used in the Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods. It follows
Ermine Street Roman road east of Grantham from the B1176 roundabout
to the B6403 and was once turnpiked. Part of the eastern extent of the
route runs parallel to the Nottingham to Grantham railway.
The modern route was opened in 1958, and contains several early
bypasses built in the 1950s and 1960s. The western end of the route
from Derby to Nottingham was dualled in 1972, but the eastern part of the
route, from Holme Pierrepoint to the A1 at Grantham, is single
carriageway, and runs through or past a number of medieval villages and
historic estates. The section through Nottingham runs past Wollaton
Park, and its long listed park walls and lodges, highly visible assets on a
busy urban route.

M1 from Junction 30 to south of Junction 15 (J15-30)
Route length 149km
Route history
Britain’s first full-length motorway. MAC Area 7 includes several phases
of motorway, with sections opened between 1959 and 1967.
Archaeological discoveries were made during route construction, including
Bronze Age barrowfields (Warren Farm & Hemington, Leics), a Roman
kiln (Whilton, Northants), a possible Roman road (Copt Oak, Leics) and
settlement (Oakley, Leics), as well as honeycombs of medieval monastic
coal pits in Derbyshire. The M1 crosses over a number of canals and
railways, particularly in former coal mining areas.
It also cuts through or runs past historic estates, parks and medieval deer
parks and medieval field systems. Key historic landmarks in the wider
landscape include the medieval motte and bailey at Lilbourne (Northants),
Hardwick Hall, Sutton Scardale Hall and Bolsover Castle (Derbys).
Archaeological investigations undertaken in advance of junction
improvements and widening works from the 1990s onwards has given rise
to a relatively large number of HER entries for the route.

3.5 MAC Area 7 - Programme of Works (July 2009-April 2010)
MAC Area 7 route programme
3.5.1 The MAC’s planned 12 Month Route Programme was considered in order to provide a strategic
assessment of the likely impact of operation, ongoing routine maintenance regimes, renewal and
improvement schemes. This assisted in assessing the vulnerability of assets to operational and
development impacts (see 12, Impact Assessment).
3.5.2 Table 3 (below) indicates whether heritage issues are likely, uncertain or not likely to be associated
with maintenance and renewal works. Road construction, widening and roundabout works may have
impacts; signage/lighting schemes may have impacts along the verges of former Roman roads, ATM
lighting and gantries may impact upon the wider landscape and setting of road schemes, and
woodland/environmental improvement schemes may have an impact on earthworks, boundary banks,
internal woodland features and historic landscape integrity. In addition, construction compounds, haul
roads etc. may have an impact on heritage.
