CIfA and ALGAO have jointly produced a guidance note on the validity of pre-commencement conditions for archaeology that sets out the legality and policy background. We hope you find this useful if queried or challenged on the use of these.
If colleagues have any questions or wish to raise concerns or pass on good or bad experiences around this issue, please contact rob.lennox [at] archaeologists.net anyone from ALGAO England Exec admin [at] algao.org.uk.
