Paragraph 13 Archaeology

No part of the authorised development may commence until a written scheme of investigation for that part has been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority.

Any written scheme of investigation submitted for approval must be in accordance with the archaeological management strategy.

Any archaeological works or programme of archaeological investigation must be carried out in accordance with the written scheme of investigation approved under sub-paragraph (1) for the duration of the works on the part of the authorised development to which the written scheme of investigation relates.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Historic England and the local planning authority, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) “commence” includes any permitted preliminary works which involve the breaking or disturbing of ground.
