Advice on issues relating to archaeology and historic
buildings is provided by the Council's Heritage Conservation
Geam.
We help planners and construction companies to plan new
developments in a way that will not have an adverse impact on our
heritage.
By considering the potential impact on our heritage of new
developments in the area we are able to ensure that this legacy is
preserved for future generations to enjoy.
What sort of advice is provided by the heritage conservation
team?
Archaeological and historic buildings advice is provided to
ensure that the historic environment is dealt with appropriately by
the planning process.
We can advise on the location and nature of any historical or
archaeological sites which may be within an area of proposed
development.
Who do they advise?
The Heritage Conservation Group provides advice to Kent's 12
district and borough councils and to Medway Unitary Authority.
The group provides advice where Kent County Council is the
planning authority and for exceptional developments such as the
channel tunnel rail link.
The group also provides advice to developers so that they can
take the historic environment into account at an early stage of
their proposals.
