Crispin This does happen, but is not a 'best practice' outcome nor does it realy comply with PPG16. Usual reason is that there is a need to make an urgent planning decision (e.g. time is running out and the applicant will not agree to it being defferred; that a 'valuable' development will be lost to the district if the decision is not made; or simply that they hadn't noticed that there was an archaeological constraint) and there is not sufficient time to do an evaluation before the decision must be made. If its only an outline planning application then the need for further mitigation etc. can be dealt with during the reserved matters application (which itself can be made conditional on the results of the evaluation being submitted with it). otherwise you need to write a restrictive condition, based on the PPG16 condition, which makes it clear that there will need to be i)an evaluation, and ii) further work dependant on the evaluation results. Risky as you can't then stop all development if the archaeology merits it and the developer is committed to signing an open cheque not realy satisfactory but we've done it a few times. pete iles, Lancashire SMR -----Original Message----- From: Crispin Flower [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 08 February 2002 10:18 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: HBSMR - ALGAO Consultation Final Outcome list Dear all I've been looking at the recently posted ALGAO lists to incorporate them into HBSMR for new installations, and wondered if anyone could clarify one issue? In the Consultation Final Outcome list, there is: Term: Approved subject to evaluation Note: The decision making body has granted consent subject to the results of an evaluation. This seems to imply that a planning consent could be revoked depending on the results of an evaluation. Can anyone confirm whether this is correct and as agreed - am I misinterpreting it? (There are other similar entries in the table - e.g. for impact assessment). Best wishes Crispin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Crispin Flower exeGesIS SDM Ltd.
