Heritage statements & impact assessment architects
Understand the history. Build a clear case for change.
When proposals affect a historic building or place, understanding its heritage value helps establish how it can accommodate change. Heritage Statements and Impact Assessments explain what makes a property significant and assess how proposed alterations will affect those qualities.
We explore the building’s history, construction and development over time, identifying the features that contribute most to its character. This understanding helps guide the design, protecting sensitive elements and identifying where changes can be accommodated more comfortably.
The result is a clear account of your property and its potential, giving your proposals a foundation rooted in an understanding of what matters.
Heritage understanding, built into the design
Considered proposals, clear explanations and a connected approach.
Strong heritage documentation develops alongside the architecture. Understanding the building informs the design, while the emerging proposals help identify which impacts need closer consideration and explanation.
We prepare the written assessment and drawings together, explaining what is proposed, how it affects the building’s significance and why the approach is appropriate. Where potential harm is identified, we set out how it has been avoided or minimised through considered design decisions.
Every element works together to show how the proposals have evolved, giving decision-makers a coherent picture of the changes and the care behind them.
The right information from the beginning
Clear guidance, supporting a meticulously prepared application.
Every heritage project is different, and the level of reporting should reflect the building and the changes proposed. We help establish what documentation is needed early, so the scope and detail are appropriate to your project.
Our Heritage Statements and Impact Assessments present information in a logical, accessible way, helping planning and conservation officers understand the property’s significance and assess the proposals. Clear explanations can reduce misunderstandings and help address questions that might otherwise lead to further requests for information.
It means you can move forward with a clearer understanding of the heritage considerations shaping your project, supported by documentation that explains how your home can adapt while respecting its past.
Design is personal.
So are we.
Let’s create something meaningful — together.
