6. DELIVERING THE PLACE
Comment that insufficient information is given to other measures for the area around Denny Abbey, or in relation to phasing and delivery of heritage aspects.

Welcome requirement for military heritage museum and landscaping measures contributing to setting of Denny Abbey.

Note suggestion for allotments/community orchards to north east of main site. Need to avoid built development in this zone. Sheds etc. may also be inappropriate.

Insufficient information is given to other measures for area around Denny Abbey. Discussions involved passing over land within immediate setting of Denny Abbey and construction of a new access road to allow site car park to be removed. Vision of linking settlement to Denny Abbey and measures and resources to ensure that development would sustain and enhance site depend on suitable planning obligation - incorporate into SPD.

Suggest additional bullet point under Progress and Delivery Group 'g) to ensure the heritage strategy for the site is implemented'.

Add reference to phasing of delivery of enhancements for Denny Abbey and heritage asset.

Add requirement for a Heritage Statement / Heritage Impact Assessment to accompany any planning application.

Primary objectives of Progress and Delivery Group should also include: to ensure the delivery of the heritage strategy for site.

Could refer to need for high quality design and good practice in relation to public realm. Refer to our regionally specific advice in 'Streets for All East of England'. More information and advice can be found on our website.

APPENDIX 2: LIST OF ACRONYMS
Comment that it should refer to Scheduled Monument rather than Scheduled Ancient Monument.

List of Acronyms - We suggest the use of the term Scheduled Monument rather than Scheduled Ancient Monument. Modern convention is to refer to scheduled monuments rather than scheduled ancient monuments, given that a wide range and age of monuments are scheduled. This is in line with the terminology used in the NPPF.
