HERITAGE

We provide reports to individuals who wish to carry out works to heritage items, for buildings within heritage conservation areas and for buildings that affect a heritage item or area.

We are experienced and trained in the requirements of both Councils and the Heritage Office in the requirements for reports that accompany development proposals.

The following range of work can be provided:

• Heritage Impact Statements - Councils generally require the submission of a HIS where work is proposed to a heritage item, a building within a conservation area, or a building that affects the setting of a heritage item or conservation area.  These reports assess the cultural significance of a site and in so doing are required to examine the relevant history of a particular site.
• Conservation Management Plans- CMPs provide guidance as to how a heritage item should be conserved and maintained. Councils sometimes require these to be submitted with a development application.
• Archival Recording - Councils frequently require places to be recorded with drawings and photographs before alterations are permitted to heritage buildings and places.  This requires a significant amount of photographic referencing which is then submitted to local authorities.
• Design Advice - Heritage design advice can be provided to individuals and developers where a proposed development affects a heritage item.
