Successful condition discharges for Archaeology and Landscaping in Dacorum Borough

Prism Ag assisted a client to successfully discharge two pre-commencement conditions attached to a full planning consent, the conditions applied by Dacorum Borough Council were for an Archaeological Assessment and a Landscaping condition to plant native trees.

• The Archaeological assessment condition was due to a historic environment record of a known 15-metre wide chalk Saxon ditch on another area of the farmland and to check whether the ditch continued into the proposed development area.
• The Landscaping condition was to ensure that new trees native to the Chiltern Hills AONB area are planted to provide screening of a large agricultural storage building in the open landscape.

This update records casework from the period described. It is general information about the practice, rather than advice on the planning position of another site.
