Given the extent of history and heritage in this country, you are likely to be, or be near, something of age and significance. Therefore, it is vital you speak to a professional heritage consultant as early as possible.
Do I need a Heritage Statement?
If your site/building is close to a heritage asset or conservation area you will need a Heritage report to accompany the planning application to support the proposed development. We deal with many Planning Applications and Developments affecting Listed Buildings and proposals for developments which are within the setting of a listed building.
Our key specialist heritage reports are completed according to Historic England guidelines, and other planning requirements.
Examples of Heritage Statements and Reports
Heritage Impact Assessments (HIAs):
A Heritage Impact Assessment assesses the significance of relevant heritage assets and any potential effect of the proposed development on this significance.

Historic Building Records:
A Historic Building Record is a recording of a historic building prior to alterations or demolition. It is usually required as a Planning Condition by the local council in order to secure approval for development, but may also be carried out prior to Planning Applications.

Statement of Heritage Significance:
A Statement of Heritage Significance will examine your historic asset and provides a summary of its overall heritage value. If prepared when considering a future planning application, it will make specific reference to those aspects of its significance that will need most consideration.
