Permitting Development with Archaeological Mitigation
Development proposals affecting archaeological remains may be permitted if appropriate mitigation measures are in place to either preserve remains in situ or ensure excavation recording before destruction.
In some circumstances it will be possible to permit development proposals which affect archaeological remains to proceed provided appropriate archaeological mitigation measures are in place which preserve the remains in the final development or ensure excavation recording prior to destruction.
