Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/21/00839/DOC
Conditions or Reasons:
1) Prior to the commencement of development, a written scheme of archaeological investigation (WSI) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The WSI shall include:

method statement for archaeological investigation and recording of all archaeological remains present at the site;
provision for preservation in situ (where appropriate);
provision for programme of community engagement (including open day);
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: To record and advance understanding of the heritage assets with archaeological interest which will be unavoidably affected as a consequence of the development (and to secure that protection and management of archaeological remains preserved in situ within the development). (Section 16 NPPF)

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), revised July 2018, 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).
