7.7.2 Methods and Worksheets
GOMMMS worksheet 4.9 requires
the historic resource to be described in Form,
Survival, Condition, Complexity, Context and
Period, each of which is assessed against
the following indicators: Scale it Matters,
Significance and Rarity. Guidance is given
in GOMMMS on each feature and indicator. The
approach encourages looking at the wider heritage
landscape (townscape) understanding habitation,
development and past and present perceptions
rather than the isolated spot data and individual
archaeological 'sites'. The impact is recorded
in the fifth column. The assessment score
is derived from GOMMMS table 4.8, which gives
a seven point scale based on the importance
of the heritage resource and the degree to
which it would be affected. Note that, at
all Stages, the assessment score and its basis
must be discussed with English Heritage and
their views taken into account. DMRB Volume
11 Section 3 Part 2, Cultural Heritage, describes
the information needed and this, in a different
order, will fill the GOMMMS worksheet 4.9.

7.7.4 DMRB Stages 1 and 2/
GOMMMS
Stage 1 DMRB requires a plan
showing areas of archaeological and built
heritage importance from desktop study; statement
of significance and further surveys needed.
Corridors affected by alternatives should
be shown.
Stage 2 DMRB will include updated
Stage 1 data plus information from walkover
survey, and replies from consultees.
