Get heritage advice

Our Heritage Team can offer paid advice about work:

  • on listed buildings
  • on locally listed buildings
  • in conservation areas
  • in registered historic parks and gardens

What we offer

As part of this paid service, we can discuss your ideas with you in written desk-based assessments or site visits. We will then follow up with a written response that can help you to successfully get consent for your proposed work.

This can help to save time and money in the long-term and provide specialist support for a subject that can be quite difficult to understand and research.
