Pre-Determination
It is becoming increasingly common for archaeological investigations to be requested prior to the determination of planning applications. This can entail geophysical survey, environmental impact assessments, desk-based research, systematic field survey, earthwork survey and trial trenching. Allen Archaeology understands that a key consideration is the timescale in these situations, and we therefore always ensure that the fieldwork and reporting are carried out to meet any deadlines set by the planning authority or by our clients. |

Planning Conditions Archaeological conditions that may be attached to planning decisions include watching briefs, strip, map and record, open area excavations, and standing building surveys. Allen Archaeology is also well rehearsed in providing archaeological mitigation strategies tailored to the specific needs of each development. With each and every scheme, we ensure that the archaeological work is conducted in a safe and professional manner that fulfils the planning conditions, and is carried out without disruption to the building programme. |
