Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/20/00711/DOC

Conditions or Reasons:

4) No development shall take place until a written scheme of archaeological resource management (SARM) has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The SARM shall include: method statement for archaeological investigation and recording of archaeological remains present at the site; provision for preservation in situ (where appropriate); provision for programme of community engagement; provision for post excavation analysis and publication. The development hereby approved shall only be implemented in full accordance with the approved archaeological scheme and this condition will only be fully discharged when all of the archaeological work; including post excavation analysis, the publication of the results of the fieldwork and the deposition of the archive with a store approved by the Local Planning Authority has been completed.
Reason: This condition is pre-commencement as a failure to secure appropriate archaeological investigation in advance of development would be contrary to paragraph 199 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), that requires developers to record and advance of understanding of the significance of any heritage assets affected by development before they are lost (wholly or in part).
