Respondent: New Anglia LEP for Norfolk and Suffolk

The County Council welcomes the amendment pertaining to archaeology, which is in line with earlier representations and subsequent discussion. The revised policy wording represents a much clearer approach to archaeological assessment which is proportionate and consistent with the intent of the NPPF. The minor modifications to the Core Strategy explain the role of the Area of Archaeological Importance in signposting developers as to where there is greater potential for archaeological finds. Ipswich's long history of occupation means that there is strong potential for significant finds in certain locations. This policy ensures that proper and proportionate assessment will be carried out.
