Herefordshire Through Time
Herefordshire Through Time
The online version of the HER database is limited - as such it should not be used for the basis of commercial, planning or academic research. Instead, please submit a formal HER Enquiry.
Prior to contacting the HER please read the HER Guidance Document.
Anyone wishing to request HER Data, please complete both the HER Data Enquiry Form and HER Licence Request Form, and email them to herenquiries@herefordshire.gov.uk.
These forms should be used for all enquiries whether they be; commercial, academic, funded researcher, students, Neighbourhood Planning Groups or private researchers. For EIA, EWCO or other agri-environmental scheme requests please mark the purpose of enquiry in email and the HER response will be tailored to your needs.
For all commercial and agri-environmental enquiries there will be a charge.
Our charges are:
Commercial HER searches
Standard (10 day response): £125 per hour
Priority (48 hour): £195 per hour
Creation of PDF maps: price on request (minimum ½ HER hour at above relevant rate)

Woodland / EWCO / EIA Advice / Reports for other land based / countryside schemes:
Please note that all commercial HER services are exempt of VAT.
We aim to deliver all HER searches within a single chargeable hour. For those that take longer we charge incrementally in 15 minute periods at the above relevant rate. Priority searches are sometimes unavailable and are dependent upon HER workloads.
Search costs are normally waived for private researchers, students and occasionally in other circumstances. Non-commercial rates can also be applied in some instances and the HER is happy to discuss these matters on a case by case basis via the above email address
If your enquiry is related to planning or development, please contact the Herefordshire Archaeology's Archaeological Advisor, to discuss your project, on 01432 383350.
