Archaeological Assessments should be presumed to be required for all strategic sites, unless there is a clear reason to suppose that archaeological remains have already been destroyed (e.g. at former landfill or gravel extraction sites). The area in Chichester District has been one of human occupation for many thousands of years, so everywhere will most likely have significant archaeological remains, unless known to have been already destroyed. Currently only some sites require archaeological assessments.
