This is not a survey, rather guidance on what might be possible in a subsequent planning or listed building application. If you are wondering about extending, converting, conserving or altering a building, Lucy will use her skills as a qualified architect to discuss what may be possible. She can even put you in contact with fellow architects who will take your project from inception to completion.

This can be of great benefit, especially with complex projects, as understanding what is significant about a building or place will ensure that any design work is informed and responds to its unique character. This will help to give the project the best chance of success when applying for planning or listed building consent. Lucy is a qualified architect and uses these skills and expertise to carry out a design review on a scheme, providing advice on any heritage considerations. This includes schemes that may have previously been unsuccessful at the planning or listed building consent stage. Heritage Statement A Heritage Statement is required by the council as part of a planning and/or listed building application. Whether a window replacement or a new build in a conservation area, we will prepare a Heritage Statement to accompany the application. The level of detail in the statement will vary according to the complexity of the application. Historic Research Historic research can be carried out on any building type, in any location. It could be part of the marketing strategy for an Airbnb property, a pub, or a boutique hotel. https://www.highlight-heritage.co.uk/press daily 0.75 2022-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Press https://www.highlight-heritage.co.uk/about daily 0.75 2024-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622f289d5bf41e0fec95276c/bd38b7fe-bdb4-4f17-bf98-bc4b3a58015b/Lucy_114626.jpg About - Meet Lucy Lucy is a heritage consultant and registered architect with experience in heritage-focussed and contemporary practices.

It is a model of its kind and we would be pleased to see the author instructed by other applicants, including those with much larger scale schemes than this one (for which the report is so thorough). For once the applicants have spent their money wisely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622f289d5bf41e0fec95276c/e4362029-a361-4bc9-850f-59f58b757c62/IMG_1.jpg Reviews - Lesley Farrell Director, Head Start on the Hill Nursery Lucy completed the heritage assessment we required for our business to be able to submit the plans for the extension to our local council.
