Planning Services

Gwynedd Archaeological Planning Service is a separate and autonomous section of the Gwynedd Archaeological Trust. We provide specialist impartial archaeological advice to the Local Planning Authorities of North-West Wales, Gwynedd, Anglesey and Conwy and to national agencies, utilities companies, developers, consultants and others engaged in development in the public and private sectors.

Gwynedd Archaeological Planning Service is the regional curatorial service responsible for monitoring all archaeological work undertaken in a development context and for ensuring that such work meets the required professional standards.

A large part of our work involves responding to planning applications. However, we also provide advice to developers and contractors involved in major infrastructure schemes, utilities renewals, energy developments and other schemes that have an adverse effect on the archaeological resource. This ensures that all archaeological obligations are carried out according to current government guidelines and best practice archaeological principles.
