Historic Environment fees and charges
We assess how development might affect cultural heritage or archaeology. This is part of the planning process.
What the planning fee covers
The normal planning fee includes:
- our assessment of the impact on heritage or archaeology
- free access to the Highland Historic Environment Record, which includes sites, reports and other information
You can use this record for free. It is available online to developers and consultants.
When extra charges apply
You might need to pay extra fees in some cases. These depend on the type of work and how complex it is.
We will usually invoice the developer’s archaeological contractor or consultant unless you tell us otherwise.
