There is a lack of focus on the archaeology of the district, which tends to get lumped in with "heritage". In particular, we believe that there needs to an initiative to compile, consolidate and interpret archaeological data in order to better inform planning decisions and development policy. All developments in historic areas or buildings should be assessed archaeologically and that assessment should be interpreted and published as a matter of course. The data should be consolidated and made accessible in a countywide GIS. We wonder whether the ANGst3 type of approach recommended for greenspaces (p114) is not applicable to archaeology.
