There is also potential for nationally important archaeological remains outside the scheduled areas.Detailed early pre-application discussions with Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service and Historic England would be required in order to agree the principle of development and inform designs (e.g. to allow for preservation in-situ of deposits or appropriate programmes of work).Excavations and interventions have taken place in parts of the site and revealed evidence for occupation and activity from the Middle Saxon period onwards - the rest of the site is undisturbed from modern development under car parks and is anticipated to contain rich and well preservedDevelopment would require full assessment prior to the granting of consent to any proposals - desk based assessment, building survey and field evaluation. . https://www.ipswich.gov.uk/sites/default/files/adopted_site_allocations_and_policies_dpd_and_appendix_3a_site_sheets.pdf#page=134 | 2018-12-13 |
