No phase of the authorised development is to commence until a programme of archaeological work in accordance with a written scheme of investigation in respect of that phase has been approved in writing by the relevant planning authority. This written scheme must provide for the investigation of areas of archaeological interest identified by the evaluation surveys which established the base line conditions in the environmental statement (Document 6.2) and include the following components, completion of each of which will trigger the phased discharging of the requirement—
approval of a written scheme of investigation;
fieldwork in accordance with the agreed written scheme of investigation;
completion of a Post-Excavation Assessment report and approval of an Updated Project Design; to be submitted within 6 months of the completion of fieldwork, unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the relevant planning authority; and
completion of analysis, preparation of site archive ready for deposition at a store approved by the relevant planning authority, production of an archive report, and submission of a publication report; to be completed within 2 years of the completion of fieldwork, unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the relevant planning authority.
The programme of archaeological work may be subject to alteration by approval in writing by the relevant planning authority.
