Advice
Archaeology is a finite and non-renewable resource. The need to preserve significant remains in situ is now recognised by both national and local government policies as an integral part of the planning process and a factor in assessing a wide range of grant applications.
The Historic Environment and Archaeology Service provides a wide range of advisory services to developers, land-owners, local authorities and national agencies. This work is underpinned by the continuing development of the county Historic Environment Record.
 |
Planning Advice The County Historic Environment and Archaeology Service is responsible for providing advice on planning matters to the County and District Councils, outside the city of Worcester (which has separate provision). |
 |
Countryside Advice The Service provides advice for farmers and other landowners on the presence and significance of archaeological sites on their lands. |
 |
Developments in / around churches Churches are a definitive element of the archaeology of any town or village. The Service provides advice to the Church of England through the Diocesan Advisory committee (DAC) on matters affecting the historic fabric or buried archaeology of its churches. |
 |
Other Advisory Leaflets The Historic Environment and Archaeology Service produce a range of Information leaflets. These can be downloaded from here as PDF files |

What to do if you find something A small piece of pottery, broken clay pipe or squashed lead object can be just as interesting as a gold coin! But a find can only begin to tell this story if it is properly recorded. |
