How we can help you
Pre-purchase Advice
This report provides the heritage context of a property so that buyers can make an informed decision prior to purchase. The property itself may be listed, be within a conservation area, or be in close proximity to a listed building.
Statement of Significance
A statement of significance provides an understanding of the heritage asset and its setting, including a summary history of the site, the planning context, historic mapping and identifies what is valuable about a heritage asset because of its heritage interest.
Heritage Statement
This is a required document in the planning application process where an application involves a listed building. It is also likely to be required for applications in a conservation area, for locally listed properties or buildings in the vicinity of a listed building.
Conservation Plan
A conservation plan is beneficial for a private or commercial heritage site, from individual buildings to estates. The process enables an owner or manager to better understand the heritage and its potential.
Design Review
Lucy is an architect and has experience in both contemporary and conservation practices. If a planning application has been recommended for refusal or has been refused, Lucy can provide a design review service to unpick the heritage and/or architectural concerns.
