Case Decision - 349353

Interim Comment

The NHRA does not allow for exemptions from conducting an assessment of the impact to heritage resources. The Minimum Standards refer to a Letter of Recommendation for Exemption for further studies for both the archaeological and palaeontological resources, should the specialist deem it appropriate. SAHRA reserves the right to insist on a field-based assessment should the Letter of Recommendation not provide ample information to make an informed comment. These Letter of Recommendations for Exemption must be compiled by qualified heritage specialists. 

Further comments will be issued upon receipt of the above.
