Desk Based Assessments & EIAs
Desk Based Assessments
Desk Based Assessments are usually commissioned by our clients in support
of their planning application or as part of an Environmental Impact
Assessment. They can also be used as confidential documents to determine
the level of heritage risk upon a site prior to land-purchase or during
masterplanning. The objective of the Assessment is to provide sufficient
information concerning the level of risk that heritage poses to a development
and to provide recommendations for dealing with it.
This enables our clients to take into consideration the potentially
critical impact of heritage on a development's cost and programme. Pre-Construct
Archaeology has undertaken Desk Based Assessments across the country
for projects of varying size and complexity, from Urban Regeneration
schemes and brownfield sites to road schemes and greenfield housing
developments, and as part of the bid for the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Input into EIAs
PCA has produced numerous Heritage Environmental Statement Chapters as part of the EIA process and can readily enhance your team by providing a Heritage Specialist as required.
Rapid Site Appraisals
Rapid Site Appraisal does exactly as described; a rapid assessment of the archaeological and built heritage risk of a possible development site. This document is produced quickly, providing our client with an understanding of the heritage risks that could potentially affect a possible development site. (They are not as detailed as Desk Based assessments and therefore are not suitable for supporting a planning application). They are useful in determining the heritage risks when looking into land purchase or sale.
