Headland’s Heritage Consultancy team has an established track-record in providing advice on cultural heritage matters and can provide input to all stages of development.
The benefit to our clients is that we work with you from appraisal through to delivery of the consented application, and from initial feasibility studies to impact assessment and implementation of mitigation.
We have gained particular experience in the field of renewable energy. To date we have been involved in over 150 wind farms, as well as several biomass and energy-from-waste plants.
Our services cover on and offshore developments. The solar energy is a fast growing sector that requires heritage input and we have developed a bespoke report (sub-EIA) and the expertise to offer services that directly address the planning needs of these developments. Outside the renewable sector, we have been involved in numerous opencast collieries, quarries, utilities, off-shore cable laying and master-planning projects.
