Paragraph 12 Archaeology

The authorised development must not be commenced until the undertaker has carried out the programme of evaluative archaeological investigation in the written scheme of investigation: archaeological trenching.

No part of the authorised development may be commenced until a written scheme of investigation for archaeological mitigation for that part has been submitted to and approved by the relevant planning authority or, where the part falls within the administrative areas of multiple planning authorities, each of the relevant planning authorities.

Any written scheme of investigation for archaeological mitigation submitted under sub-paragraph (2) must be substantially in accordance with the archaeological mitigation strategy and take into account the findings of any archaeological evaluations, including those carried out under sub-paragraph (1), and the final design of the authorised development.

Any written scheme of investigation approved under sub-paragraph (2) must be implemented as approved.
