Paragraph 14 ArchaeologyI1

The authorised development must be constructed in accordance with the archaeological written scheme of investigation, including the provisions of any method statement or other document required to be prepared under the terms of the archaeological written scheme of investigation.

Any archaeological remains not identified in the archaeological written scheme of investigation which are revealed when carrying out the authorised development work (“the revealed remains”) must be retained in situ (subject to sub-paragraphs (3) and (4)) and reported to the county planning authority within 3 working days.

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

If the county planning authority confirm to the undertaker during the 14 day period referred to in sub-paragraph (3) that the revealed remains require further investigation, then no construction operations are to take place within 10 metres of the revealed remains until the revealed remains have been investigated and recorded in accordance with a scheme, which may provide for the removal of the revealed remains (subject to any direction or determination made under article 55 (removal of human remains)), submitted to and approved in writing by the county planning authority.
