Planning Condition 38 – Archaeology I write in response to your email submission dated 27th May 2016 incorporating a specification for the archaeological works provided under the requirements of Condition 38 of Planning Permission 1/16/00354/CDM. I can confirm that the archaeological works prepared by Phoenix Consulting Archaeology Limited (Reference PC448a) dated 27th May 2016 incorporates a satisfactory written scheme describing the archaeological works to be implemented across the access road, plant site, ancillary site commencement works and initial extraction phases (1 & 2) including the recharge trench. I therefore write to formally agree this specification under the requirements of Condition 38 of planning permission 1/16/00354/CDM. For the avoidance of doubt, further schemes of archaeological works will need to be submitted for subsequent phases of quarry extraction.
