Heritage Advice & HIS

We provide specialist heritage advice and prepare Heritage Impact Statements to support planning applications.

This includes early-stage advice to inform design direction, as well as detailed assessment and documentation to address heritage controls and council requirements, projects to proceed with clarity and confidence.

Approach

The practice is often engaged on projects where heritage requirements are complex or unresolved.

We provide clear direction, documentation and coordination to support planning approval and project delivery, working closely with architects, clients and consultants to achieve practical and well-resolved outcomes.
