  • Transport Scotland — A96 Inveramsay Bridge Improvement 7-1 7
    Transport Scotland — A96 Inveramsay Bridge Improvement 7 CULTRAL HERITAGE 7.1 Introduction This Chapter provides an assessment of the potential effects of the construction and operation of the proposed A96 Inveramsay Bridge Improvements (the Scheme) on cultural heritage (built heritage, archaeology and designed historic landscapes). As a highways Scheme, this assessment has been prepared in accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Detailed Assessment (DMRB Volume 11 Section 3, Part 2 Cultural Heritage HA 208/07, 2007). In accordance with advice contained in DMRB Volume 11, an Options Appraisal (Stage 2 Simple Assessment) was undertaken in September 2011. This determined that the cultural heritage resource had the potential to be impacted by the Scheme. This was confirmed as part of a Scoping exercise (April 2012) which concluded that a detailed assessment was required. The objective of a DMRB Detailed Assessment (Volume 11, Parts 2 and 3), as required for inclusion in the Environmental Statement, is to: undertake sufficient assessment to identify the location, type and importance of cultural heritage constraints; characterise and assess the importance of the cultural heritage of the study area; determine the likely nature and scale of potential impacts from construction and operation of the Scheme; and determine mitigation measures to reduce or remedy any adverse impacts. 7.2 Approach & Methods 7.2.1 Plans and Policies This assessment has been undertaken in accordance with current legislation and planning policy. The following relevant documents have been used in the preparation of this report: The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2011; Historic Environment (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2011; Scottish Historic Environment Policy (SHEP) 2011; Scottish Planning Policy (2010); and Planning Advice Note 2/2011 – Planning and Archaeology (2011).

Priorities for action 54 B&NES Destination Management Plan The Tourism Company 2 SUMMARY What this plan is about This report is a Destination Management Plan (DMP) for Bath and the surrounding area. Its purpose is to ensure that this area continues to flourish as a successful leading visitor destination in the years to come and continues to derive benefit from tourism. The Destination Management Plan looks at all aspects of the visitor experience, identifies priorities for improvement in marketing, the tourism product and supporting infrastructure, and suggests how all the parties involved can work together to deliver the required outcome. The DMP also relates the visitor economy to the wider aspirations for Bath. In producing the plan we have worked closely with B&NES Council officers, Bath Tourism Plus and South West Tourism. We have consulted a wide range of organisations and individuals in Bath, held two workshops to discuss issues, undertaken a survey of tourism enterprises and carried out some new market research. We have also reviewed relevant statistics, research reports and strategy documents. This summary sets out the main conclusions and recommendations but more detail and analysis can be found in the main report.
