Information Classification: PUBLIC Ben Dancer, World Heritage Site Planning Officer

Information Classification: PUBLIC What Is a World Heritage Site? Governing instrument is a UNESCO Convention: Convention concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage, (1972) “cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of Outstanding Value to humanity” Cultural heritage: “Monuments, groups of buildings and sites with historical, aesthetic, archaeological, scientific, ethnological or anthropological value” Rule book = Operational Guidelines http://whc.unesco.org/en/convention/

Information Classification: PUBLIC Cornish Mining Outstanding Universal Value – key points • inscribed for its significance – not aesthetic appeal, (unlike an AONB, for example) • essentially industrial in character • landscape scale – eg includes streets/ townscapes, whole mine sites with waste dumps, not just individual engine houses or monuments • period of interest is 1700 – 1914 – features outside this date range may be linked, eg as historical context, but not OUV

Information Classification: PUBLIC Where do we find OUV? The ten WHS areas – landscapes where these features survive
