Heritage Structure Approval

It is crucial for all members of the design team to comprehend the immense value and significance of a listed building, regardless of its grade (I, II*, or II). These buildings hold not only architectural significance but also embody a rich historical legacy that has significantly influenced and shaped our society over the years

To ensure the success of any project involving a listed building, thorough research into its historical background is essential. This investigation uncovers the building’s past uses and reveals its significance in relation to historic events. Our collaborative approach empowers us to navigate this process effectively, identifying planning issues and devising strategies to restore and enhance your property to meet the expectations and requirements of modern living.

Undertaking projects on listed buildings subjects them to additional controls, both for interior and exterior modifications. Consequently, the planning application process becomes more intricate and is referred to as Listed Building Consent. Our expertise lies in providing comprehensive information to local and national authorities, such as English Heritage, which ensures the approval of these projects.

At our core, we understand the importance of historical preservation and seamlessly integrate it with contemporary needs. Our meticulous approach, backed by our collaborative efforts and extensive knowledge, guarantees a successful outcome for your listed building project.

Our architectural design package caters to various design preferences, whether it involves paying homage to the existing building or creating a contrasting and distinctive design. This comprehensive process covers all RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) work stages, starting from feasibility and concept design, progressing to planning and building regulations approved drawings with detailed specifications ready for tender and construction. Should you require it, we also offer contract administration services, including site inspections and ongoing monitoring to ensure the contractor adheres to the approved construction drawings, specifications, and the building contract.
