DVAS encourages developers to contact us as early as possible when designing schemes, so we can help identify and record quickly any archaeological / historical features that may otherwise cause delays in the planning process.

If there is little known about the proposed development site it is probable that the planning authorities will recommend that the developer commissions an evaluation of the site.

Archaeological units and site developers can both benefit from DVAS' involvement at all stages of a project. Services include:
Preparation of a project specification
Conducting the investigation
Production of the appropriate reports
Liaison between parties to the project
Mitigation strategies
Dissemination
