Heritage & Conservation Projects
We provide specialist heritage and conservation advice for historic buildings, listed properties, conservation areas, and heritage assets. Our work helps identify and protect the significance, character, and architectural value of historic places while supporting sensitive and appropriate development.
Residential & Historic Properties
From listed homes and historic cottages to extensions, conversions, and alterations, we provide heritage advice that balances the preservation of historic character with the practical requirements of modern living. We assess the significance of existing buildings and provide clear guidance to support sensitive proposals.
Support for Architects
We work closely with architects and design teams to integrate heritage considerations from the earliest stages of a project. Our advice helps inform design development, material choices, alterations, extensions, and detailing while ensuring proposals respond appropriately to the historic significance of the building or site.
Support for Planning Consultants & Developers
We support planning consultants and developers in navigating heritage requirements and preparing robust planning submissions. Our services include heritage assessments, heritage impact assessments, historic research, significance assessments, and advice on proposals affecting designated and non-designated heritage assets.
Heritage Surveys & Assessments
Understanding the history and significance of a building is fundamental to successful conservation. We undertake historic building appraisals, site assessments, archival research, and heritage surveys to identify key architectural, historic, and evidential features and establish appropriate approaches to change.
Conservation & Historic Building Advice
We provide practical advice on the conservation, repair, alteration, and reuse of historic buildings. Through assessment of existing fabric, historic development, and architectural character, we help establish appropriate interventions that protect heritage significance while enabling buildings to remain viable and functional for the future.

We deliver planning designs that exceed compliance, combining thorough policy awareness with strong commercial focus. Each scheme maximises site value through practical, efficient layouts and visually engaging design, informed by a clear understanding of local planning requirements.
