Archaeology that keeps projects moving…

Getting archaeological advice early can save time, reduce planning risk, and help your project move forward with confidence. Canterbury Archaeological Trust provides clear, practical pre-application advice for developers, architects, planners, landowners, and project teams across Kent and England. Our team can identify potential archaeological and heritage constraints before a planning application is submitted, helping you understand what may be required and how best to respond. From initial site reviews and desk-based assessments to advice on evaluation, mitigation, excavation, and building recording, we help you plan ahead, avoid unexpected delays, manage costs more effectively, and keep your programme on track.

A desk based assessment helps identify archaeological and heritage constraints before work begins, giving your project team the evidence needed to plan with confidence. Canterbury Archaeological Trust provides clear, proportionate desk based assessments for developers, planners, architects, landowners, and consultants across Kent and England. Using historic records, maps, previous investigations, heritage datasets, and site context, we assess the potential impact of proposed development and outline practical next steps. Our reports support planning applications, reduce uncertainty, and help shape appropriate evaluation, mitigation, excavation, or recording strategies so your project can move forward smoothly.

Archaeological planning conditions can affect when and how development work begins, so clear advice and timely delivery are essential.

We work with local planning authorities and heritage stakeholders to ensure requirements are met efficiently, helping reduce delays, manage risk, and keep your project moving forward.

From trial trenching and watching briefs to excavation, recording, sampling, and reporting, our team delivers clear, reliable archaeological evidence to support planning requirements and inform practical mitigation strategies.
