Works in conservation areas and development affecting heritage assets

You may not own a listed building yourself but still need a heritage statement if your site lies within a conservation area, affects the setting of a listed building, or may affect other designated or non-designated heritage assets.

Recept prepares clear, proportionate heritage statements for proposals of this kind, helping applicants, owners and design teams understand the heritage context and present a well-reasoned case to the local planning authority.

Our statements can support extensions, alterations, new-build development and changes of use, and typically include:

• identification of relevant heritage assets and their settings;

• a proportionate assessment of significance and likely impact;

• explanation of how the proposal has responded to heritage constraints and opportunities; and

• a concise document suitable for planning applications and related submissions.

If you would like to discuss a site, please get in touch with the address, a short description of the proposals, and any drawings, photographs or planning background you already have.
