Consultancy

Archaeological Services provide desk-based assessments, scoping statements and environmental impact assessments covering archaeology and cultural heritage.

Heritage impact assessments, covering for example the potential impact of a development on historic buildings or conservation areas, will also be provided when required.

We aim to ensure that all necessary pre-determination works are completed appropriately, and that any mitigation schemes are determined and executed in accordance with the client’s requirements.
