Environmental Stewardship Through Other Executive Agencies

The Department's heritage stewardship commitment extends through other agencies like Roads Service and Water Service, covering decisions on new infrastructure and detailed aspects like street surfaces, signage and lighting. Specialist conservation advice is available through the Environment and Heritage Service.

The Department's commitment to environmental stewardship of our archaeological and built heritage will also be reflected in the actions of its other executive agencies, including Roads Service (see Annex A) and Water Service. This will relate not only to decisions on the need for and siting of new roads or pipelines, but also the more detailed aspects of their responsibilities, such as the quality of street surfaces, signage and lighting. Through the Environment and Heritage Service the Department can call on specialist conservation advice to inform its decision-making and to assist owners and other members of the public.
