Heritage Statements for Listed Buildings
If you are applying for listed building consent, you will usually need a heritage statement explaining the significance of the building and assessing how the proposed works may affect that significance.
Recept prepares clear, proportionate and well-evidenced heritage statements for listed building owners, purchasers, architects and applicants. The aim is to provide a document that is useful to clients and agents, readable for case officers, and properly tailored to the building and the proposals.
A good heritage statement helps explain the building’s significance, supports the design rationale, and addresses likely heritage impacts in a clear and practical way. This can help reduce uncertainty, support decision-making and avoid unnecessary delay.
