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 />

It is worth noting that the heritage assets in the town are being<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 />
