MEAS adopted the Historic Environment Record (HER) in April 2014. A three-year process of digitising and enhancing the HER, working with the paper Sites and Monuments Record files dating back to the 1970s and with the grey literature of archaeological reports for Merseyside, means it is now usable as a source of sound planning evidence.

From June 2016 a full service for archaeological advice relating to planning and development management is available to the local authorities of Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St. Helens and Wirral.
