Consultation


In accordance with The Planning Act (2008), EAOW provided a Preliminary Environmental Information Report (PEIR) part way through the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process. The aim of the PEIR was to describe the development proposals, present environmental information collected from desk studies, surveys and consultation (the environmental baseline), and identify potential project impacts. The PEIR was therefore designed to allow informed and meaningful consultation with key technical consultees, including SCC’s Historic Environment Team.

The SCC response to the PEIR stipulated the following requirements: Systematic fieldwalking and metal detecting surveys, and reporting


Geophysical survey of selected sites, identified by the desk-based assessment


Trial-trenched evaluation (systematic 5% sample of the entire route), assessment and reporting


Palaeoenvironmental assessment and reporting where the route crosses floodplains


The consultation process has been iterative, and through full involvement with the stakeholders, the agreed methodology no longer corresponds with the initial response to the PEIR. Although the full consultation process is not repeated in this section, SCC and EH have confirmed that a WSI should be provided outlining the agreed proposals for a staged programme of archaeological assessment.


1.1.4 12 Professional standards


The WSI is in accordance with best-practice outlined in the Institute for Archaeologists’ Code of Conduct (IfA 2010), Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Field Evaluation (IfA 2009), Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Excavation (IfA 2008), Standard and Guidance for an Archaeological Watching Brief (IfA 2008), The Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MoRPHE) (English Heritage, 2006), and in line with relevant archaeological SCC guidance.
