Home Counties Archaeology in the Field
Home Counties Archaeology supports developers, planning consultants and landowners in meeting archaeological planning requirements across the UK. Our consultancy provides clear, practical advice to help projects move through the planning process while complying with heritage legislation and local authority guidance.
We assist with the preparation of Written Schemes of Investigation (WSI), desk-based assessments and heritage statements required to support planning applications. Where archaeological conditions are attached to development, we can also coordinate and deliver fieldwork such as evaluations, watching briefs and excavations.
Our experience working alongside construction teams and infrastructure projects allows us to provide efficient archaeological solutions that minimize disruption to development programmes while ensuring heritage requirements are met. We focus on delivering reliable reporting, clear communication and professional support throughout the archaeological process.
We understand the commercial realities of development and work closely with project teams to provide clear archaeological advice, efficient fieldwork and reliable reporting that helps projects progress while meeting heritage and planning requirements.
