111 Archaeological Sites Where Planning Permissions may be Subject to a Recording Condition

Within the sites listed below and defined on the Proposals Map, the District Council will not normally refuse planning applications on archaeological grounds. However, following evaluation, planning permissions may be subjected to a condition requiring facilities for the Council to record remains by excavation in advance of construction and/or during construction. The evaluation, which may involve limited excavation or other work (eg. geophysical survey), is to be carried out by the Council or an archaeologist approved by the Council.

Voluntary agreements will be sought (e.g. under Section 106) to cover the cost of work, including any initial evaluation, and to ensure that finds made during the course of such work are donated to the Council.
