We welcome the forthcoming SPD on archaeology. As mentioned before, the heritage assets (including archaeology) should be integrated into the development of policy for the vacant sites and regeneration areas in Ipswich. Understanding the importance of the remains, particularly in the Waterfront area, should influence the modern design solutions coming forward. As such we particularly recommend a review of the conservation area appraisals and their boundaries for both Central and Wet Dock as part of the evidence base for the new local plan to ensure that historic Ipswich is understood and can inform the 21st century Ipswich which is emerging.
