Recept HeritageListed Building Video Advice
Planning works to a listed building you own? Before you pay for drawings or make an application, a focused video call with Peter Clarke gives you an expert view on whether listed building consent or planning permission is likely to be needed, what changes are realistic, and the sensible next step. Peter reviews the list entry, your photographs and any plans beforehand, and a short follow-up note is available on request.
£250
If you then instruct a heritage statement for the same project, £125 is credited against it.

Your own home
A video call to talk through your building and plans before you spend on drawings or applications.
For a client or a scheme
Early heritage input on a client's project or a site you're appraising, before the design is fixed.
This service is designed to give you clear early advice before you commit to design work, a purchase, or a more detailed heritage statement. During the call, we can review your building, discuss your priorities, and talk through realistic options for change within the listed building and planning framework. You will come away with a clearer understanding of the main heritage issues, the likely permissions involved, and the most sensible next steps.
This service is particularly useful:
- Before committing to a purchase or design fees.
- Where you are unsure whether listed building consent is likely to be needed.
- Where you want an early view on whether a heritage statement is likely to be required.
- Where you want a plain-English explanation of the constraints, opportunities and likely risks.
Before the call, you can send basic information such as the property address, photographs, sales particulars, sketches, drawings or a short note explaining the issue. That allows the discussion to focus quickly on the building, the proposal and the key heritage questions.
If requested, the service can also be supported by a short follow-up note summarising the key points discussed. The aim is not to give false certainty where the position is genuinely nuanced, but to identify the real issues and help you decide what to do next.
This is an initial advisory service. It does not replace a formal heritage statement, architectural design work, a measured survey, or a planning or listed building consent application where those are needed.
