Historic England have updated their guidance and good practice note
on piling and archaeology https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/piling-and-archaeology/
Originally published in 2007, it has been revised by a team of
archaeologists and engineers, to bring it up to date with the National
Planning Policy Framework.
This new guidance places greater emphasis on understanding the
significance of archaeological remains in advance of decisions being
made about piling.
It provides information on piling types, impacts, and solutions for
sustainable foundation design and is illustrated by case studies.
This revised edition also includes a risk assessment methodology so
clients and their contractors can identify, avoid and manage the key
construction risks to archaeological remains arising from their schemes.
Kind regards
