Who We Are
Network of conservation architects, historians, and archaeologists delivering planning-ready Heritage Statements across the UK.
​
Fixed-fee heritage advice from qualified specialists.
What We Do
Collaborative Desktop Design Reviews to identify heritage constraints during design development.
From Scheduled Monument church ruins requiring archaeological consideration to new builds in Conservation Areas needing character assessment.
Standard Desktop Heritage Statements for domestic refurbishments and extensions within Conservation Areas and to Listed Buildings.
Complex Heritage Statements for multi-asset schemes, higher-grade listings, and projects requiring specialist input from chartered archaeologists and architectural historians across the UK.
Why Heritage Statements Matter
Planning policy requires heritage impact assessment before consent can be granted.
Without professional heritage justification, planning officers must assume potential harm and typically refuse applications or impose restrictive conditions.
Our Heritage Statements provide the evidence base that officers need to approve projects confidently while protecting what makes buildings and areas historically significant.
Professional Methodology
Desktop-first research methodology reduces costs without compromising assessment quality.
​
Most heritage significance derives from architectural history, design evolution, and historical associations documented in archives, historic mapping, and statutory descriptions.
​
Site visits add value for complex fabric analysis but aren't required for every assessment. This focused approach delivers planning-ready advice faster and
