Archaeological Investigations
In accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation as required by Condition 14 of the outline planning consent, a programme of archaeological investigation work will take place within the site during February.
The works will be undertaken by contractors Worcestershire Archaeology and will comprise the excavation of a number of ‘evaluation trenches’, each measuring approx.30m long x 1.8m wide.
The trenching has been informed by a site-wide geo-physical survey and will focus on specific locations which have been prior agreed with Birmingham City Council. Following the excavation works and evaluation of any findings, the trenches will be back-filled and a Report issued to Birmingham City Council.
The works are anticipated to commence on 3 February and will take approx. 2 weeks to complete.
