Heritage Consultancy Services
We provide specialist heritage consultancy and planning services, helping clients navigate heritage and planning requirements at every stage of their project.
Heritage Statements
A Heritage Statement assesses the significance of a heritage asset and evaluates the impact of proposed works. We prepare clear, robust statements that satisfy planning requirements and support informed decision-making.
Listed Building Consent Applications
Works affecting the special interest of a listed building require Listed Building Consent. We guide clients through the process, preparing the necessary documentation and liaising with local authorities to maximise the chances of approval.
Planning Applications
We provide specialist heritage advice to support planning applications involving heritage assets and historically sensitive sites. Our team prepares supporting heritage documentation and works alongside project teams to address planning considerations.
Certificates of Immunity from Listing (COI)
A Certificate of Immunity confirms that a building cannot be listed for a period of five years. We advise on eligibility, prepare applications and provide expert support throughout the process.
Expert Witness
Our experienced consultants provide independent expert witness services for planning inquiries and informal hearings. We deliver clear, evidence-based advice and professional representation where required.
Appeals
Where Planning Permission or Listed Building Consent has been refused, we can assess the reasons for refusal and provide specialist heritage advice to support the appeals process.
Site Assessments
Our heritage site assessments identify heritage constraints, opportunities and potential risks at an early stage. This enables clients to make informed decisions before progressing with development proposals.
Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans
We prepare Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans that help identify, protect and enhance areas of special architectural and historic interest. Our work provides local authorities and stakeholders with a clear framework for understanding, preserving and managing the character of conservation areas.
