Develop on brownfield land these days you’re likely to have to get the architects in. But beware, because if you haven’t planned for it, just pray they don’t dig up Excalibur. Accounting for this phase can save some nasty surprises. A Construction Industry Environmental Forum (CIEF) seminar will showcase good practice in preserving cultural heritage. Speakers including David Miles of English Heritage and Peter Hinton of the Institute of Field Archaeologists will show how addressing archaeological concerns proactively can realise benefits to the client and project team over the longer term. Archaeology and Construction: the benefits of effective planning and design takes place 16 March in London.
