Dealing with heritage constraints, such as the setting of a listed building, can be very challenging. Listed buildings and other designated heritage assets have a high degree of legal and policy protection. In addition, judgements of what constitutes harm to these heritage assets can be highly subjective. The result is a situation where subjective judgements can carry significant weight in planning decisions, leading to unpredictable and often inconsistent outcomes.
Landgage Heritage have successfully guided the development of schemes within sensitive heritage environments. We regularly work with architects, landscape architects and others to develop sensitive and responsive designs, and seek to have a positive and collaborative relationship with local authority officers.
We also have expertise and experience in responding to objections and representing our clients at appeal when needed.
