What we do
Unlock the potential of your historic buildings and spaces
Retrofitting & Adaptation
Our expertise in retrofitting existing buildings allows us to transform and repurpose heritage structures for modern use. We prioritize sustainable and energy-efficient solutions, preserving the character and charm of these historic spaces.To achieve this, we work collaboratively with architects and engineers to find innovative solution for the adaptation of historic buildings.
Listed Building & Planning
We specialize in navigating the complexities of heritage planning, securing planning permissions and listed building consents. Getting involved at conception stages allows us to flag potential planning and conservation issues right at the start, which we then work iteratively to resolve. The scope of our work is wide and can start from baseline and feasibility studies for concept designs, through to full planning stages and thereafter; including the discharge of conditions. We support throughout strategy planning and design negotiations to achieve your vision.
Character Appraisals & Heritage Impact Assessments
We are experienced in the production of Conservation Area Appraisals & Management Plans. Our characterisation studies provide in-depth analysis and documentation, laying the foundation for informed decision-making. We provide Heritage Impact Assessments for Master plans and Site Allocations to determine the likely effect of proposals on the historic environment.
Conservation Advice
We can provide specialist input in building history and on relevant repair works and methodologies. Throughout the process, we
work with other specialists to achieve the deliverables on site, including advice during construction/ implementation if
required.
Expert Witness at Appeals
Whether you are a developer or householder challenging a planning decision; or a local authority defending a decision, we will present the strongest and best case to fight your corner. With comprehensive knowledge of latest case laws, this is a challenge we enjoy taking.
