Step 2 : Get professional advice
No matter what type of consent you’re applying for, you should get advice regarding the impacts of your proposal on archaeology. You may need to engage a consulting archaeologist. It’s likely they will be involved throughout the project. This will include involvement in the application, excavation, analysis and reporting.
Step 3: Prepare your application
Commission your experts to help prepare the required documentation for the proposed works at the archaeological site. This may include:
- An outline of your proposed works, including the impact on archaeology
- A description and background history for the site
- A statement of significance of the archaeological site
- The method and level of archaeological investigation proposed including research design and excavation methodology
- An artefact retention policy and artefact management proposal
- Curriculum vitae demonstrating the skills and experience of the archaeologist and conservator
- A letter detailing the engagement of the project conservator
Complete the consent application form, including payment of the application fee. In some instances, fees may be waived. You can request a fee waiver by completing the form and submitting it with your application.
