Why is Landscape Research important?
Most development and construction projects have the
potential to harm the environment. This does not
have to be the case, provided that adverse impacts are
understood and can be mitigated.

●● Environmental statement
In order to conserve the best of the past whilst meeting
the needs of the future we have to know what is
worth keeping and why. This is where archaeological
research can help, and it is for this reason that EC directives and the UK planning
system can require the submission of Environmental Impact Assessments and deskbased archaeological surveys. This is not simply an
exercise in meeting planning requirements. High
quality information helps architects and planners to
find better design solutions, and reduces the risk of
unforeseen problems. A superficial survey can be a
costly one if it fails to identify risk.
Our Expertise
Our in-depth understanding of the historic landscape is
based on over fifty years of research. We have worked on surveys throughout the world,
and specialise in southern England. We employ leading experts in all periods of history
and pre-history, in planning law, topographic survey,
geo-archaeology, cartographic and landscape research,
archaeological prospection, palaeo-environmental
research, and so on. Our specialists are deployed by
a dedicated project management team, experienced in
meeting the requirements of commercial clients, and
used to working effectively within multi-disciplinary
teams.

Why work with Archaeology
South-East?
We have extensive experience in preparing reports
that help to manage, reduce or even remove the risk
posed by cultural heritage and other environmental
issues. We also understand the needs and concerns of
planners and government, and our reports can speed
and simplify the business of securing consents.
We recognise the importance of providing accurate
information, presented clearly and concisely. Our aim
is to inform, not to confuse.
