Stop the Destruction Of British Archaeology.
Ensure that our heritage continues to be protected as part of planning applications, when the Neighbourhood and Infrastructure Bill is agreed.
Why is this important?
Britain has some of the most amazing and diverse archaeological remains in the world, however the new Neighbourhood Planning and Infrastructure Bill announced in May 2016 puts all of this at risk, leading to the destruction of our past for good.
The current Requirements that force developers to carry out archaeological and wildlife surveys before starting housing projects may be abolished in the new Neighbourhood Planning and Infrastructure Bill.
This will destroy archaeological sites and risk the industry that conducts surveys, excavation and preservation of our vital past.
“pre-commencement planning conditions are only imposed by local planning authorities where they are absolutely necessary”
