Navigate Heritage with Confidence
Owning a historic property is both a privilege and a responsibility. Whether you’re planning alterations to a listed building, developing a heritage site, or seeking conservation area consent, the path forward can seem complex. Our expert heritage planning consultants guide you through every step – from initial assessments to planning approval – ensuring your vision respects both history and regulation. With decades of experience in UK heritage planning, we transform challenging processes into clear, achievable plans.
Legal Compliance: The UK has strict laws protecting historic buildings, especially those that are listed or in conservation areas. Our heritage consultant ensure compliance with regulations set by Historic England, local authorities, and the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Getting it wrong can result in criminal charges and requirements to reverse unauthorized changes.
Expert Assessment: Our heritage consultants can properly assess a building’s historical significance, identifying important architectural features, materials, and cultural value that might not be obvious to others. We understand which elements must be preserved and where there may be flexibility for sensitive modifications.
Planning Permission: We significantly improve the chances of obtaining necessary planning permissions and listed building consent. We know what local authorities and conservation officers look for and can help prepare compelling Heritage Impact Assessments and Design & Access Statements that address potential concerns proactively.
