Generic brief for an historic environment assessment and walk over survey

• An assessment is unlikely to add significantly to existing knowledge
• The matters requiring consideration are relatively minor or straightforward and the relevant heritage case officer agrees that a full assessment is unnecessary
• The site’s archaeological interest is better suited to moving directly to archaeological evaluation (for example geophysical survey and/or trial trenching), in which case a ‘cut down’ archaeological assessment should form part of the evaluation report

In such instances please contact the Council Archaeology Service for further advice.
