DH11: Archaeology

Within the designated Archaeological Priority Areas as shown on the Councils’ Policies Map, development proposals will be required to assess the potential impact on archaeological assets, Where appropriate, a desktop survey should be undertaken to assist in the assessment and pending the findings, a further field evaluation or trial excavation may be required and, if necessary, more complete excavation. Proposals will be expected to provide satisfactory arrangements for excavation and recording, in advance of development. The information thus obtained from the survey will be published or otherwise made publicly available.

Such excavations are to be in accordance with a detailed scheme to be agreed in advance with the Councils, who will, as appropriate, consult with the Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service, Historic England, and other local groups with appropriate expertise. They will be carried out by a suitably qualified body, to the satisfaction of the Councils.
