Heritage Statements
Heritage impact assessments and statements of heritage significance for projects across the northwest
We regularly provide consulting services to architects, planning consultants, and homeowners to support proposed changes to listed buildings, non-designated heritage assets (NDHA's) and buildings within conservation areas.
​
The 'Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act' 1990 states that it is an offence to undertake works to a designated heritage asset that may affect its special interest without listed building consent. The National Planning Policy Framework requires that those seeking listed building consent should describe the significance of any affected heritage assets and any impacts to heritage interest that may arise.
​
A heritage statement is usually required for the following:
​
- Proposals that may affect the heritage significance of a listed building
- Proposals that may affect the heritage significance of a conservation area
- Proposals that may affect the heritage interest of an NDHA
​
We can also assist with:
​
- Regularising unauthorised alterations
- Delisting a listed building
- Historic building recording
