This site, within the Anglo-Saxon core and the area of Archaeological Importance includes three Scheduled Monument areas of National Importance, relating to the Middle and Late Saxon town. English Heritage consent is needed for development on Scheduled sites and they should be consulted early. Where development is accepted in principle, archaeological remains will be complex, important and involve significant costs. Archaeological management will be a major consideration and should involve upfront assessment to inform design. Outside Scheduled areas, an archaeological investigation condition will need to be attached to any planning consent. Archaeological costs have the potential to be relatively high.
