Prior to the first use of the burial ground extension hereby permitted as a burial plot, a professional archaeological organisation acceptable to the Local Planning Authority shall prepare an Archaeological Written Scheme of Investigation, relating to the application site area, which shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To safeguard the recording and inspection of matters of archaeological importance on the site in accordance Policy CSEN3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027 and Policies CON11, CON13 and CON14 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 and with the National Planning Policy Framework.

Document(s) detailing the works undertaken in each phase must be submitted to and approved by the LPA in writing before any other phase commences, and before occupation of any building in relation to phase iv). All phases of investigation must be designed and conducted in accordance with DEFRA and the Environment Agency's 'Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11. i) A preliminary risk assessment, including a site walkover and conceptual site model detailing all potential contaminants, sources and receptors. ii) An intrusive site investigation to assess the type, nature, extent and risk(s) of any contamination identified in ii), whether or not it originates on site.
