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.
