Paragraph 8 ArchaeologyI1

No part of the authorised development is to commence until, for that part, a written scheme for the investigation of areas of archaeological interest, reflecting the mitigation measures included in chapter 7 of the environmental statement, has been prepared in consultation with the relevant planning authority, and submitted to and approved in writing by the Secretary of State.

The authorised development must be carried out in accordance with the scheme referred to in sub-paragraph (1).

A copy of any analysis, reporting, publication or archiving required as part of the written scheme referred to in sub-paragraph (1) must be deposited with the Historic Environment Record of the relevant planning authority within one year of the date of completion of the authorised development or such other period as may be agreed in writing by the relevant planning authority.

Any archaeological remains not previously identified which are revealed when carrying out the authorised development must be retained in situ and reported to the relevant planning authority and Secretary of State within 10 working days.

No construction operations are to take place within 10 metres of such remains for a period of 14 days from the date of such notification unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Secretary of State.

If the Secretary of State is of the view that the archaeological remains require further investigation, no construction operations are to take place within 10 metres of the remains until provision has been made, in consultation with the relevant planning authority, for the further investigation and recording of the remains in accordance with details to be submitted in writing to, and approved in writing by, the Secretary of State.
