Archaeological works for lesser importance remains

There will however be occasions, particularly where archaeological remains of lesser importance are involved when the council may decide that the significance of the remains is not sufficient when weighed against all other material considerations, including the importance of the development, to justify their physical preservation in situ and that the development should proceed. In such cases applicants will be required to prepare and carry out a programme of archaeological works using professional archaeologists and working to a brief prepared by the Historic Environment Division.
