Case Decision

SAHRA supports the recommendations of the author and requires that:

A palaeontological desktop assessment be compiled for the proposed development area. If the specialist deems the likely impact of the development on significant fossils to be minimal, a letter recommending exemption from further palaeontological studies can be submitted to SAHRA Archaeology, Palaeontology and Meteorites Unit. 

As there is apparently no evidence of any  significant archaeological material in this area, the SAHRA Archaeology, Palaeontology and Meteorites Unit has no objection to the development (in terms of the archaeological component of the heritage resources) on condition that, if any new evidence of archaeological sites or artefacts, graves or other heritage resources are found during development, construction or mining, SAHRA and an archaeologist must be alerted immediately.
