Local Government Archaeology in the West Midlands Local authorities (LAs) are required by the National Planning Policy Framework and legislation to take the Historic Environment into consideration when evaluating every planning application submitted to them or when designing strategic/forward plans for the long term development and management of the environment. This forms part of a suite of environmental considerations that LAs must satisfy in order to ensure sustainable development. Most LAs employ one or more archaeologists to provide this advice, or in the case of two tier authorities, the districts consult an archaeologist(s) employed at the county council level. These local government Historic Environment professionals do far more than simply evaluating planning applications. They provide support to people seeking to understand and conserve local heritage assets (from school children to academics); engage local communities planning for their area's future; and inform those seeking to more effectively manage distinctive environments and landscapes. LAs in the West Midlands have a huge challenge ahead, with budget cuts of up to £150,000,000 from central Government. Historic Environment services are seeing increasing pressure with jobs and services being cut across the region. Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service, for example, is seeing a 65% budget cut by 2016/17. Other councils are not so lucky, potentially seeing up to 100% cut; for instance Sandwell.
