Cultural heritage studies are carried out to assess the potential impacts of a proposed development on the archaeological and historical heritage of the receiving environment.

Margaret Gowen & Company's dedicated team of EIS specialists has developed significant expertise in this area. Working closely with clients, design teams and other EIS consultants, the team frames its advise on the potential impact of a development and the appropriate ameliorative, reducing and mitigation measures required.

Main activities:

Desk-based archaeological, historical and cultural heritage appraisals
Field inspections
Environmental impact statements for planning adjudication

Our activities encompass

Constraint studies for road and pipeline routes
Route selection studies
Land-use schemes
Urban renewal
Industrial, commercial, residential and mixed-use development
Cultural heritage research for local authorities, government departments and semi-state companies

The EIS department is backed up by our licensed archaeologists, who are available for any assessment or monitoring that might be required before or during construction.
