Historic Environment
We provide consultancy advice, design and implement schemes, and undertake baseline surveys and analysis to support clients with project design, planning applications, Environmental Impact Assessments, or compliance to discharge planning conditions.

Our expertise extends to all regions of the UK with specialist teams in England, Scotland and Wales working under the NPPF, NPF4 and PPW12 planning regimes and UK legislation.

Heritage services
Our experienced heritage consultants provide a wide variety of services to public and private funded clients across all sectors. At project conception we offer feasibility studies and design and masterplanning advice to ensure that project risks are understood and minimised through embedded due diligence measures. We provide the full range of all subsequent 鈥榙esk-based鈥� products including Archaeological Desk Based Assessment and Heritage Statements and, where required, full impact assessments within Environmental Statements.
We are familiar with and excel in multi-disciplinary & interdisciplinary working environments and are thoroughly conversant with the legislation and guidance within all geographies. Our output ensures that heritage significance is understood such that appropriate mitigation measures can be put in place that are proportionate in terms of cost and timescales. The wealth of experience within the team can identify potential risk early, provide solutions that safeguard or enhance the historic environment while successfully navigating through the various planning regimes.

Archaeology services
Our experienced archaeology team delivers a wide range of fieldwork services in line with national planning policy and professional standards. We support infrastructure, energy, and commercial development projects across the UK.
Our specialist post-excavation team offers expertise in environmental sampling, finds analysis and publication and we provide rigorous and reliable interpretation. All levels of reporting are catered for, from evaluations, assessments, research archive reports, publication reports, specialist chapters and advice on retention and discard strategies.
With a proven track record on nationally significant projects, we combine archaeological excellence with practical delivery. Whether supporting planning submissions or producing peer-reviewed reports, our team ensures cultural heritage is understood, preserved, and presented to the highest standards.
