Archaeology and Construction: Mitigating Risk and Delay

The Centre for Applied Archaeology, based at CUBE, invite you to join them for their inaugural seminar which will address a key topical issue geared specifically towards the construction industry.

Built Heritage and below ground archaeological remains are frequently encountered as part of the planning process associated with new construction or alterations of existing buildings. Addressing this issue in the pre planning and pre construction stages will minimise both cost and delay. This event will offer an overview of the current legislation, proposed changes in policy guidance and planning requirements relating to all archaeological implications indicating how to manage and minimise these risk to developers.
