| # | Condition Details |
|---|---|
| 1 | (a) No development shall take place until a written scheme of investigation (WSI) for archaeological work has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The WSI shall as a minimum make provision for: - Before development commences, comprehensive evaluation by means of trial-trenching of all anomalies of suggested likely or possible archaeological significance detected by the geophysical survey conducted and reported on in the document ‘Tees Solar Farm, North Yorkshire: Archaeological Geophysical Survey’ (AOC Project No: 40298), Dated October 2022 - In accordance with the results of the evaluation and/or the geophysical survey, and before development commences, the strip, map and record excavation (‘SMR’) of all remains, features, structures, finds and/or deposits likely to be of more than low archaeological significance (provided that the WSI may make provision for the release of discrete areas of the development site for construction when the SMR is agreed by the local planning authority to have been completed in such areas); - An archaeological watching brief of all ground disturbance extending 300mm or more below ground level during construction groundworks in areas which the evaluation indicates are likely to contain archaeological remains, features, structures, finds and/or deposits of low (but not negligible) archaeological significance; - Protection during development, followed by consolidation and preservation of any very high value archaeological remains revealed by the evaluation and/or an SMR exercise and required to be left in situ; - a general programme of works and monitoring arrangements, including reasonable notification to the local planning authority of commencement of works; - details of staff involvement in carrying out the work (including specialists), and their qualifications and responsibilities; - the timetable for completing the post-evaluation report and (where applicable) the SMR and the post excavation assessment (‘PXA’). (b) Provision for the analysis, archiving and publication of the results of the SMR and watching briefs (including where relevant an amended PXA) shall be secured to the satisfaction of the local planning authority by the developer before the development is brought into use. (c) The development shall not without the prior written approval of the local planning authority be carried out otherwise than in accordance with the approved WSI, and (where relevant) the preservation of remains in-situ as provided for in the WSI (or as otherwise agreed at any time in writing by the local planning authority). REASON: The site is likely to contain remains of archaeological significance, some of which may merit preservation by record or in situ. |
