Case Decision - 350438

Interim Comment

The SAHRA Development Applications Unit (DAU) notes the submitted heritage report. A field-based heritage impact assessment with an archaeological component is outstanding as part of this application. The field-based assessment of archaeological resources must be conducted by a qualified archaeologist and the report comply with the SAHRA 2007 Minimum Standards: Archaeological and Palaeontological Components of Impact Assessment Reports (see www.asapa.co.za or www.aphp.org.za for a list of qualified archaeologists).

 Any other heritage resources as defined in section 3 of the NHRA that may be impacted, such as built structures over 60 years old, sites of cultural significance associated with oral histories, burial grounds and graves, graves of victims of conflict, and cultural landscapes or viewscapes must also be assessed.

Further comments will be issued upon receipt of the outstanding HIA and a revised BAR that incorporates the results of the HIA.
