Case Decision - 198253

Interim Comment
The SAHRA Archaeology, Palaeontology and Meteorites Unit supports the author’s recommendation that a field-based archaeological impact assessment should be conducted.
In terms of palaeontological heritage, the SA Palaeontological Sensitivity Map indicates that the study area has a mixture of Low, Moderate and Very High fossil sensitivity, therefore a palaeontological desktop study is required and based on the outcome of the desktop study, a field assessment is likely. Once this study has been submitted, along with the field-bases archaeological assessment, SAHRA will be able to provide further comments.
