We believe that heritage matters. Our clients benefit from our wide range of knowledge and expertise, which helps deliver high-quality projects in a historically sensitive and sustainable manner.
COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
We are still working and undertaking site visits (in line with safe practices). The UK Government have specifically asked for businesses to keep open (see www.gov.uk). “With the exception of non-essential shops and other businesses and public venues, we are not asking any other business to close – indeed it is important for business to carry on”….”If you cannot work from home then you should still travel to work. This is consistent with the Chief Medical Officer’s advice”

Often we are called in to help when the local authority Conservation Officer or Planning Officer does not like you proposals. We can help work through the issues, attend site meetings and help ensure that you can acheive a satifactory resolution of the problem.
We can do any survey work required, prepare drawings for you, submit the application for you (normally electronically using the ‘Planning Portal’) and deal with any queries from the Conservation Officer. We can help from design to completion or just when you need us.
Knowing how the planning system works and having over 25 years experience of working on the inside for English Heritage, Local Planning Authorities and the Environment Agency means that we can help provide high quality practical advice and design solutions for your development projects.
