Dear all,
Traditionally we have steered away from constraint areas, areas of
archaeological senstitivity or archaeological potential as entities in their
own right within the SMR. Advice and areas of concern have been given on a
case by case basis and this information has not been recorded except in the
letters/reports concerning the site.
Are there any best practice guidelines or methodologies for how such areas
are derived? The drawing of such boundaries always seems very subjective
to me. How do you make those boundaries defensible in a public inquiry for
instance? (Apart from it's there because we say so.)
