Heritage
Our clients, both public and private sector,
all require consistent and accurate heritage advice in order to
understand any potential risk to development, or conversely, to
assess the potential for enhancement of existing heritage
assets. Our experience has illustrated that many developers
are unaware that there is flexibility within the planning process
and that the requirements of the statutory authorities can be
reinterpreted and negotiated to benefit the client without
compromising the heritage resource.
Scott Wilson provides an early assessment of
the heritage risk in terms of below ground archaeology and historic
buildings.
Our innovative approach in the use of site investigation data,
alongside traditional archaeological and historical sources,
enables us to target areas of archaeological risk which can then
inform the design process.
By providing a clear assessment of heritage constraints, plus
recommendations of how to reduce or remove the risk, we effectively
hand control back to the client. This allows Scott Wilson to
design an appropriate level of survey or mitigation for our client
in consultation with the relevant authorities.
Scott Wilson offers experienced, client
focused, commercially aware heritage specialists who can offer a
full range of archaeological and built heritage services throughout
the UK.
