Ashwell Neighbourhood Plan Regulation 16 Submission

We welcome the production of this neighbourhood plan, but do not currently have capacity to provide detailed comments. We would refer you to our detailed guidance on successfully incorporating historic environment considerations into your plan, which can be found here: https://historicengland.org.uk/advice/planning/plan-making/improve-your-neighbourhood/.

For further advice regarding the historic environment and how to integrate it into your neighbourhood plan, we recommend that you consult your local planning authority conservation officer, and if appropriate your local Historic Environment Record.

There is also helpful guidance on a number of topics related to the production of neighbourhood plans and their evidence base available on Locality’s website: https://neighbourhoodplanning.org/, which you may find useful.

To avoid any doubt, this letter does not reflect our obligation to provide further advice on or, potentially, object to specific proposals which may subsequently arise as a result of the proposed plan, where we consider these would have an adverse effect on the historic environment.
