If you plan to alter or extend a listed building, develop near one, build in a conservation area or apply for listed building consent, you’re required to submit a heritage statement.

The document is designed to explain the building’s historical significance and assesses the impact of your proposed works. Without it, planning permission can be delayed or refused.

Our AI‑assisted process ensures your statement covers everything local authorities expect, from a clear description of the heritage asset and its setting to the reasoning behind your proposed works and how they will affect the building’s character.

We also explain how heritage statement costs sit alongside other surveys in this article.

”Our Heritage Statement from Recept didn’t just help us to plan our works in a way that would be acceptable to the LPA. It turned from being a ‘planning requirement’ to a key road-map of how to achieve our aims in a manner that respected and enhanced the our home and its heritage.”
