I was wondering if any of you could help me? Not directly an SMR query but I know many of you out there wear a Development Control/Planning hat as well...
I have received a query from a journalist (Sunday Times) who is looking for current and very recent examples of redesign of developments to accommodate archaeology. She is particularly interested in looking at examples where upstanding or substantive visible remains have been incorporated into development either as open areas within the overall development layout or within basements, and in particular within residential or mixed developments. She is also keen that to identify cases where the developers have as a consequence put interpretation panels and the like up, or benefited or used the archaeological aspect of the site within their marketing of the developments.
The examples should not have previously been reported extensively in the national press.
As is the way with journalists, she needs information a.s.a.p.
Not quite 'the moon on a stick', but nearly.
Many thanks
Alex
