We support Policy TH36 and its approach in defining an area of<br />
principal archaeological interest. The Thetford Historic Environment<br />
Survey is a key piece of evidence and helps to provide clarity on the<br />
areas of archaeological interest within the town. The policy sets out<br />
clear criteria on how archaeology should be dealt with in the main<br />
area and ensures that sites of the highest archaeological interest,<br />
including scheduled monuments, will be preserved. We also support<br />
the boundary of the main area as shown in Map 25.1, which includes<br />
all of the town centre scheduled monuments, most of the town centre<br />
areas of national archaeological significance (as shown in the<br />
Thetford Historic Environment Survey) and much of the conservation<br />
area. Support noted. No further action.<br />

investigated/improved in a variety of ways, not just through the<br />
<strong>TAAP</strong>:<br />
• Gallows Hill is in an area of significant change and has dual<br />
issues of biodiversity and archaeology and as such has its own<br />
policy.<br />
• The Existing Buildings in the Urban Extension are to be<br />
retained as undesignated heritage assets of local historic<br />
interest.<br />
• There is a policy approach to bringing the Listed Buildings at<br />
the Railway Station into re-use.<br />
• SMs are taken into consideration in the <strong>TAAP</strong> as a<br />
constraint/something to take account of in some areas (e.g. Bury<br />
Rd/Brandon Rd junction and approach to the Bridge street car<br />
park site).<br />
