Overall the Area Action Plan well represents the above ground heritage assets within the town centre, including the listed buildings which are discussed within the context of the layout of the historic town. However, the below ground historic environment assets are not identified in the document. To ensure that all elements of the historic environment are appropriately represented within the Area Action Plan, alterations should be made to the text as follows,

Section 2.2, paragraph 1, 'Historical evolution and Conservation Area' - the paragraph should be extended by inclusion of new additional text, to read,
'Archaeological deposits relating to the development of the medieval and post medieval town are likely to survive in particular around the central Market Square and its axial road system as described above. All new development should incorporate a mitigation strategy for the preservation and/recording of such deposits.'
