Fantastic news David! Thank you for your help throughout our appeal. Frank B. – London

With just ten days to go before my listed building consent appeal deadline I realised I was out of my depth; without help I wouldn’t have had any hope of success. A quick google found Heritage Matters and I sent an email. Two days later David Hickie came over for a site visit. We chatted for a while, and took some measurements and photographs. In good time I received a draft appeal document from David and after a few minor amendments it was submitted. From the moment I met David I was sure I had probably found the right guy for the job. I wasn’t wrong; yesterday we received the Inspector’s decision. “The appeal is allowed and listed building consent is granted …”. Thank you David! Ifor P. – Faringdon, Oxon.

Thanks very much for sending across the Heritage Issues Report, it is exactly what we were after. I will discuss with our planners and come back you with any comments. We will also go back to the architect and try and get as many of your recommendations incorporated into the plans as possible. David B.

The reason why David’s company is so unbelievably busy must be that David’s mindset, contacts and skillset are those of a ‘problem-solver’ laterally thinking ‘outside of the box’. The difference is that unlike such usual people I’ve met in the past – David delivers – we were fortunate to have him. Andrew McG, Gloucestershire

We found the pre-purchase zoom session super helpful – your knowledge has provided in depth understanding with regards to the Grade II listed property we want to buy. CP London

He really seems to understand the system, the details of the rules and policies…He is good at establishing cordial relations with the planners to arrive at reasonable consensual solutions. He is easy to deal with, and at all times has in mind practicable and economic solutions. Above all, he is effective!…AG
