Paragraph 22 Archaeological mitigation strategyI1
England and Wales
No part of the authorised development may commence until an archaeological mitigation strategy, including any required written scheme of archaeological investigation (or multiple written schemes of archaeological investigation) for that part has been submitted to and approved by the relevant planning authority in writing, in consultation with the PLA and the MMO.
Any archaeological mitigation strategy submitted under sub-paragraph (1), to the extent that it is applicable to that part of the authorised development, must include the following—
details of any proposed archaeological surveys of the river bed and foreshore, intertidal environment and marine environment;
details of any updated geoarchaeological deposit model;
should the authorised development include proposals to alter or demolish, in full or in part, the Belvedere Power Station jetty, details of the building recording of the belvedere power station jetty; and
proposals for how any further mitigation required as a result of the survey work undertaken will be taken forward in a written scheme of investigation or multiple written schemes of investigation.
No demolition or modification of the Belvedere Power Station jetty shall take place—
until a descriptive record specified and carried out to Level 2 as specified in Historic England guidance: Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Recording Practice has been undertaken in accordance with that guidance and written confirmation provided to the relevant planning authority that is has been completed; and
unless within six months of the date of commencement of the demolition or alteration that completed record has been deposited with the Greater London Historic Environment Record and the Archaeology Data Service, and written confirmation of the deposit has been provided to the relevant planning authority.
For the purposes of this paragraph, “commence” includes archaeological surveys and investigations.
