Emma Ings

Emma has worked extensively on both Town & Country Planning Act (TCPA) and Development Consent Order (DCO) non-Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) development projects in England, Wales and Scotland. She works predominantly within the renewable energy, with a particular focus on solar farms. She provides robust archaeological and heritage advice to clients and project stakeholders for the management and enhancement of archaeology and historic places.

Emma has substantial experience of working as part of multidisciplinary teams to deliver heritage documentation and archaeological fieldwork required as part of EIA and non-EIA projects (including scoping reports, preliminary environmental information report cultural heritage chapters, desk based assessments, and Environmental Statement cultural heritage chapters). She regularly manages pre- and post-determination archaeological investigations such as geophysical survey and trial trenching. She has exceptional skills in liaison and consultation with national agency and local government archaeological advisors, other heritage organisations, the general public and clients.

Emma has used her background in field archaeology, in which she spent the first 5 years of her career, to provide clients with sound archaeological advice and mitigation strategies suitable for a wide range of development types and categories of built heritage and archaeological sites.
