What is a Heritage Impact Assessment?

A Heritage Impact Assessment evaluates the potential effects of proposed developments on heritage assets. It is crucial for planning applications involving listed buildings, conservation areas, and historically significant sites.

What is a Heritage Statement?

A Heritage Statement documents the historical importance of a site, evaluates its current condition, and proposes measures to mitigate the negative impacts of new developments. It is an essential part of the planning application process, ensuring compliance with heritage policies.
