Case Decision - 197328

SAHRA Response to Notification of Development
This application constitutes a section 38 (1) application for approval by SAHRA in terms of the National Heritage Resources Act, no 25 of 1999 (NHRA), as the proposed power line exceeds 300 metres in length. As such SAHRA is providing response in terms of section 38(2) with regards to this application.
SAHRA Archaeology, Palaeontology and Meteorites Unit cannot make an informed decision on this proposed development because the information provided to this case is not enough to determine decisively that heritage resources will not be disturbed or damaged by the proposed power line construction. In order for SAHRA to process this case, the SAHRA requests that ground level photos of the power line route must be uploaded onto SAHRIS as individual photos, or in a word document containing a compilation of the photos. The submitted photos must clearly show the landscape and the pylon positions. Additionally, the DESD and Wayleave documents must be submitted to the case. 
If historical features are identified in the photographs, then an assessment of impacts to heritage resources will be required in terms of section 38(2)a.
