Archaeological remains

Research

These are the questions we answer during the Research stage.

Answering them wil help us learn more about the Archaeological remains consideration, determine if a data standard is required and whether we know enough to move on to the next stage.

  • Do we understand the lifecycle of a Archaeological remains?

  • Do we understand how the data is created/produced?

  • Where will or should the data be used?

  • Who are the statutory consultees for Archaeological remains?

    Historic England

  • Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Archaeological remains? How do we expect them to use Archaeological remains?

  • What are the planning needs for this data?

    When plan-making, planning officers will consult archaeological advisers on the plan’s spatial policies to developing a suitably robust underlying evidence base.

    When dealing with planning applications, planning officers: a. agree and implement a consultation procedure with their archaeological advisers; b. validate the application, ensuring that it meets the local authority’s local requirements; c. consult Historic England when required and other interested parties as appropriate; d. ensure sufficient information is available to make an informed planning decision, which takes account of expert archaeological advice and information in preparing decision reports and conditions, and seeks to reach a view that balances a range of factors and is informed by the proposal’s potential impacts (positive, negative or neutral); e. take advice from archaeological advisers before discharging conditions; and f. take action if conditions are not being complied with.

  • Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Archaeological remains data?

  • What are some potential uses of Archaeological remains data?

  • What's the value of adding Archaeological remains data to the platform?
