摘要:Archaeological deposits pose a financial risk for developers resulting from the planning constraints that are imposed by the premise that a public interest exists in those deposits and in the consequent impact that any development might have upon them. In England and Wales, those planning constraints arise from the principles now established by the National Planning Policy Framework. Here archaeological deposits are identified as being among the heritage assets that go to make up the heritage environment, and developers are required to execute works that are environmentally sustainable. My aim in this short piece is to consider what might be required of policies of heritage sustainability.
