Supportive but we request changes, again, this option is not available on the online response.
Where Paragraph 3.1.5 references Manual for Streets 2 and lists the benefits of improved streets, we would welcome recognition that better streets can also have a positive benefit for the historic environment: minimising the impact of transport on heritage (Manual for Streets 2, 2010).
We encourage you to draw on Historic England's publication Streets for All: East of England for further guidance. This can be found via the following link:

Where the placemaking objectives for the remodelled gyratory system are set out in Paragraph 3.4.2, we request a further bullet point as follows;
* Preserve and enhance the Central Conservation Area and the wider historic environment and make a positive contribution to local character and distinctiveness.
We welcome the design principles as likely to help to achieve a positive contribution to local character.
