Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not Condition 2 is necessary and reasonable having regard to heritage assets of archaeological interest
What decided it
The levelling works did not involve excavation or ground disturbance, so any below-ground archaeological remains would remain in situ, and a post-completion survey would not usefully assist in understanding or addressing potential impacts of the development.
