As with Area B, this is a complex and diverse area in terms of the historic environment. Current references to the historic environment are welcomed, but there needs to be greater detail with regards to scheduled monuments and archaeology. The large scheduled monument that runs through this area is not shown on either diagram, with 'development options' mapped over the top. This is misleading and does not provide sufficient clarity for development proposals.

As currently drafted in relation to archaeology, we consider that the plan is unsound as it is not effective or consistent with national policy. The NPPF requires adequate detail to be provided in Local Plans (e.g. paragraphs 154 and 157), while Local Plans should set out a positive strategy for the historic environment (paragraph 126).
