When making reference to the fact that English Heritage has engaged with the preparation of the Masterplan, it would helpful to note in brackets that English Heritage is now known as Historic England (so as to avoid confusion with the English Heritage Trust).

I would suggest that a final sentence is added to this paragraph along the lines of 'Some core buildings are of significance and those of greatest significance will be retained.' This will then acknowledge that the Mond Building is listed and will be kept, but allow the Mond Annex (a BLI) to be removed.

For the sake of clarity (and to avoid confusion with the current Botanic Gardens) I suggest the final part of the sentence reads 'a good deal of the former Botanic Garden remained undeveloped.'

Final sentence. Here I suggest adding 'and Augustinian Friary' after King's Ditch at the end of the paragraph.

This states that access to the site is currently very poor. However, I question this and would suggest that what is very poor is the permeability of the site If you compare plan 10, which illustrates the current access points, with map 13, which shows the proposed access points there is no change. I therefore suggest that the opening sentence of paragraph 4.6.1 reads: 'Access into the site is currently poor and permeability through the site is very poor, as highlight by Plan 10.'

As part of testing the appropriateness of introducing small specialist retail outlets into the Pembroke Street frontage, I suggest that the implication for signage and advertising would need to be carefully examined (though would not wish to prejudge the impact).

Creating the third court would require the loss of the Mond Annexe, a building of local interest but, on balance, the benefits to enhancing the setting of both the Mond Building and the Cavendish Laboratory (and thereby better revealing the significance of these two listed buildings) would more than outweigh the harm of the loss of this BLI.'
For the sake of clarity it would be helpful if the references of A, B and C for the new primary open spaces are added to Plan 15 and to each of the bullets in this paragraph. The third bullet (Courtyard C) needs to acknowledge that this requires the loss of the Mond Annexe, a building of local interest, but that its loss would be outweighed by the wider benefits. A suggested wording is: Creating this third court would require the loss of the Mond Annexe, a building of local interest but, on balance, the benefits to enhancing the setting of both the Mond Building and the Cavendish Laboratory (and thereby better revealing the significance of these two listed buildings) would more than outweigh the harm of the loss of this BLI.'

I recommend that signage is added to the list of items needing a consistent treatment in the design of opens spaces.

Whilst the introduction of underground storage for storm water attenuation may be desirable, there would first need to be a full understanding of the implications for buried archaeology.
