I provide specialist heritage consultancy services to developers and homebuilding companies, supporting projects of all scales, from urban and rural residential developments to commercial and retail schemes. I have extensive experience advising on large-scale residential projects, guiding design teams through the complexities of planning and heritage requirements whilst aligning proposals with local housing targets and policy frameworks.
My approach ensures that heritage considerations are fully integrated into the development process from the outset. I advise on design, layout, density, and material choices, helping schemes respond sensitively to historic context, Conservation Areas, and locally significant heritage assets. By embedding heritage input early, I help reduce planning risk, streamline approvals, and enhance the overall value and marketability of a development.
Whether working on urban infill sites, greenfield extensions, or rural developments, I provide robust Heritage Statements, Impact Assessments, and strategic advice tailored to both national policy and local planning requirements. This ensures that proposals not only meet statutory obligations but also respect and enhance the historic environment, creating schemes that are both viable and sympathetic to their context.
Collaborating closely with architects, planners, and development teams, I bring a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach that maximises the likelihood of planning success whilst protecting the significance of heritage assets, or assisting in mitigating and justifying impacts. My expertise allows developers to navigate complex heritage landscapes confidently, delivering projects that meet housing and commercial objectives whilst demonstrably considering local heritage value.
