Managing heritage assets

For planning authorities

Cross-local authority and cross-county boundary planning requires a review of technical documents to ensure consistency and adherence to support sustainable development. With our proven track record of assessing planning policy documents, we can help you to achieve this.

Example project: Historic Area Assessment (HAA), Reading.

For landowners

Heritage assets can be an attraction, a positive opportunity or a future risk, depending on long-term management. We provide heritage advice, assessing opportunities and mitigating risks, to assist you in managing heritage effectively.

Example project: S&K Buildings, Birmingham.

For community heritage projects

Heritage projects are rewarding and cost-effective whether they are undertaken to enhance sustainable development or are community-driven. Increasing voluntary and community engagement raises awareness of your profile.

Example project: Drews site, Caversham Road, Reading.

For everyone

We provide CPD for our clients and outreach activities for local communities and schools.
