Archaeology + Heritage

Lanpro Archaeology + Heritage provide independent advice on all stages of promotion and construction of developments from land acquisition/due diligence right through the design process and to the eventual discharge of archaeological and built heritage conditions.

We have a strong reputation for practical, commercially focussed advice and a pragmatic problem solving approach. Our aim is to minimise planning constraints and fi nancial risks posed to development by archaeology and built heritage.

Archaeological features are not always visible on the ground surface, and can be overlooked when assessing the purchase value of land. Issues with the settings of heritage assets within and beyond the boundaries of development sites can have a major impact upon the amount of developable land. We offer a free rapid appraisal of any site nationwide to provide vendors or purchasers with the likely costs/constraints should the land be developed.

Our experience is extensive, both in terms of geographical coverage and the spectrum of projects. This depth of experience aids our negotiation with LPAs and enables us

to identify and agree innovative solutions to client’s archaeological problems.

We differentiate ourselves by our commitment to our client’s projects and goals. We ensure all archaeological work undertaken is absolutely necessary and appropriate both in terms of scope and timing. We will rapidly identify known constraints to development. Where appropriate, we will negotiate to defer archaeological costs to post-determination. We will provide or obtain fi xed costs for all work undertaken and we will ensure that work is conducted within the agreed budget.

“ We differentiate ourselves by our commitment to our client’s projects and goals. ”

We offer an entirely independent and confidential service. We have no ties with local authorities or archaeological contractors and you can be comfortable in the knowledge that we won’t try to cross sell services, focus on excavation as the preferred solution, or have any conflicting relationship with the Local Planning Authority advisors.

We provide the same level of service irrespective of the size of the development. We operate on schemes as diverse as house extensions to multi million pound developments. Our approach is aimed at tackling questions such as ‘Does any archaeology need dealing with and, if so, how can it be dealt with quickly, cost-effectively and with least risk to the programme?’.
