Understanding potential heritage and archaeology constraints early can often make a big difference to the viability of a scheme. Landgage Heritage highlights risks early on to enable cost-effective solutions to heritage related constraints.
We are experts in understanding the potential for a site to contain buried remains, and in articulating the significance of archaeological remains within the UK legal and policy framework.
Heritage assessment can be complex, involving arguments about setting, significance, as well as legal and policy tests. Landgage Heritage has a strong track record in achieving positive outcomes in this challenging area.
Field evaluations can be expensive and time consuming; we can help manage that risk. But field evaluations can also provide important commercial information and we are experts in communicating this to our clients.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) can be complex and the archaeological and heritage requirements onerous. Landgage Heritage have been part of major EIA teams and helped deliver substantial developments across the UK.
Archaeological planning conditions can result in a wide range of projects, from short watching briefs to multi-phased programmes of works and archaeological excavations. Landgage can help you understand the requirements, anticipate the risks, and devise an effective approach.
Landgage Heritage has a strong track record of defending schemes at planning appeal, and have represented clients at hearings, public inquiries and examinations in public.
Sometimes what is needed is more than a standard report. Whether responding to unreasonable objections, dealing with uncommon heritage and archaeological permissions, or engaging with consultation processes Landgage Heritage have the experience and expertise to assist.
At Landgage Heritage we consider heritage to be a positive aspect of our shared environment. We have expertise in helping clients make the most of archaeological and heritage assets within their sites and in doing so achieve public benefits.
