Paragraph 11 Onshore archaeology

Geoarchaeological and archaeological evaluation and mitigation must be carried out in accordance with the archaeological mitigation strategy.

No stage of the onshore works may commence until, for that stage, an archaeological written scheme(s) of investigation in accordance with the onshore outline written scheme(s) of investigation as appropriate for the relevant stage has been submitted to and approved by the discharging authority in consultation with Historic England.

The onshore works must be carried out in accordance with the written scheme(s) of investigation as applicable in each stage as approved under sub-paragraph (2).

Intrusive onshore site preparation works must not take place until an archaeological or geoarchaeological written scheme(s) of investigation, as appropriate, in accordance with the outline written scheme(s) of investigation has been submitted to and approved by the discharging authority in consultation with Historic England. The archaeological or geoarchaeological written scheme(s) of investigation required under this sub-paragraph must be implemented as approved.

The archaeological post investigation assessment must be completed in accordance with the programme set out in the archaeological mitigation strategy and any relevant written scheme of investigation, and provision made for analysis, publication, and dissemination of results and archive deposition.

For the purposes of this requirement “intrusive” in relation to onshore site preparation works means works within the onshore Order limits that require the breaking of the surface of the land.
