Services

Whatever your project or heritage-related challenge, we have a range of services to help.

Whether you need a Heritage Statement, advice on enabling work to historic buildings, or want help managing and mitigating heritage risk on large-scale developments, talk to us today. 

Heritage Statements

Under the National Planning Policy Framework, you need a statement of significance to accompany any proposal of works affecting a heritage asset - assessing the work against conservation principles and supplying evidence of potential impacts. Mounteer can provide you with a professional heritage statement that includes a history of the site, photographic evidence and building assessment - with justification for the works and even proposed mitigation measures that can support your planning or listed building application. 

Listed Building Consent

If you're proposing to alter, extend or demolish a listed building - in a way that will affect its character or appearance as a building of special architectural or historic interest - you'll need listed building consent. Get in touch for advice on improving your proposal for a greater chance of quick, hassle-free approval. 

Planning Applications for Heritage Curtilages 

Work to outbuildings often falls under permitted development rights. However, any proposed work to outbuildings located within the curtilage of a listed building does require planning permission. We can make sure you don't get caught out.

Character Appraisals

A character appraisal is designed to investigate all aspects of a Conservation Area. This includes identifying specific features such as historic architecture, green spaces, and waterways, as well as intangible qualities like activities, sights and smells that help define its special character. An appraisal from Mounteer can also highlight those aspects where improvements could further enhance the character of the area.

Conservation Area Consents (planning permission for demolition)

While Conservation Area consent is no longer required for the demolition of unlisted buildings in conservation areas, planning permission is still required for “relevant demolition” (and it is a criminal offence to demolish an unlisted building in a English Conservation Area without it). Chat to us today to find out if this affects your proposed works.
