The Council for British Archaeology and the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists have released a joint statement regarding their initial response to the ‘Planning for the Future’ white paper consultation. Both bodies are concerned that the white paper in its current form is insufficient to protect archaeological interests within the planning process. You can read more about the initial response from the Council for British Archaeology on the following link.https://new.archaeologyuk.org/news/cba-and-cifa-response-to-planning-white-paper
More information and a message from CBA Executive Director Neil Redfern is available on the link below. https://blog.archaeologyuk.org/2020/07/22/cba-writes-to-pm-and-ministers-on-proposed-planning-reforms/
It is important that our voices are heard at this time and we would encourage you to ‘Speak up for Archaeology’ and send an email to your MP to ask that archaeology is protected in the planning process.
