Paragraph 18 ArchaeologyI1

No phase within the authorised development, and no part of the site preparation works for that phase, may commence until an archaeological written scheme of investigation (WSI) for that phase has been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority in consultation with the county archaeologist.

Any archaeological works or programme of archaeological investigation carried out under the approved WSI must be carried out by an organisation registered with the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists or by a member of that Institute, and the nominated organisation and its relevant specialists will be identified and agreed within the WSI.

Any archaeological works must be carried out in accordance with the approved WSI, including post-excavation analysis, reporting, publication and archiving.
