Interim Comment
The SAHRA Development Applications Unit (DAU) requests that an assessment of the impact to heritage resources be conducted and must comply with section 38(3) of the NHRA. The HIA must include an archaeological component and any other relevant heritage components and must comply with the SAHRA 2007 Minimum Standards.
The proposed development is located within an area of Unknown Palaeontological Sensitivity as per the SAHRIS PalaeoSensitivity map. As such, a desktop Palaeontological Impact Assessment (PIA) must be undertaken by a qualified palaeontologist. (See https://www.palaeosa.org/heritage-practitioners.html for a list of qualified palaeontologists).
Further comments will be issued upon receipt of the heritage reports.
