Heritage and Land Development
The Service monitors planning applications, road improvement schemes and pipeline proposals.
Many developers will make contact to seek advice on archaeology before submitting a planning application.Consultation and discussion at an early stage can avoid loss of time and money later.Developers are usually keen to ensure that heritage is not damaged or threatened by new construction.
Proposals to develop land are sent to the Archaeology Service for assessment. The Service receives weekly lists of planning applications from District Planners. The SMR, aerial photographs and previous reports are used to assess potential impact, and advice sent to planning staff. Discussions with applicants resolve many problems, and planning conditions are drafted where excavation work is needed.
