Expert Heritage Statements That Satisfy Planning Officers

Gaining planning permission for listed buildings or sites in conservation areas requires more than good design — it demands a robust Heritage Assessment.

At Homz UK, we specialise in Heritage Statements and Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) that meet national and local planning requirements. Our reports demonstrate significance, assess potential harm, and provide a balanced justification for your proposal.

We work with homeowners, developers, and architects to secure planning permission while respecting the historic environment.

What is a Heritage Assessment?

A Heritage Assessment (often called a Heritage Statement or Heritage Impact Assessment) is a planning document that explains how a proposed development affects the historic significance of a site, building, or area.

It is usually required by councils when applying for:

✅ Alterations to a listed building

✅ Development in or near a conservation area

✅ Demolition of historic structures

✅ Extensions to heritage assets or within protected zones

Our reports are designed to address concerns from conservation officers and show how your proposal aligns with NPPF, Historic England guidance, and local planning policy.

When Do You Need a Heritage Statement?

A Heritage Statement is typically required if your project involves:

🏠 Alterations to a Grade I, II or II listed building*

🏘️ New development in a conservation area

🏗️ Conversion or demolition of structures with historic value

🧱 Works affecting locally listed buildings

🏞️ Proposals near scheduled monuments or registered parks and gardens

Not sure? Book your Pre-Planning Advice with one of our Heritage Consultants and we’ll quickly assess your site and confirm whether a heritage report is needed — and what level of detail the council expects.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Homz were responsible for submitting a Historic Buildings Planning application on my behalf to a very difficult local authority!  The whole process was a lot less painful than I thought and today they confirmed that after all their hard work that the application has been approved!  Thanks and highly recommended.  David

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Trustindex. Planning Appraisal for the erection of a Rooftop Terrace I used Homz services to get pre-planning application advice on a rooftop terrace project in London. The service was straightforward and professional. After providing basic project details online, they researched relevant past applications in my local Authority before a follow-up phone call which was a good opportunity to discuss their insights and share my own ideas and expectations. Although, I was already familiar with most of their recommendations and that no similar project have been submitted before, they provided a detailed and professional report a few days later. Overall, a smooth and informative process and I will very probably use their service to manage my planning application.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Homz for act on our behalf when seeking planning permission for our property. They were able to submit our application between 7-10days. At first I was hesitant as they were a company I had not heard of before and they were soley based online. However, I signed up for the initial telephone consultation with a lady called Chadernnay, who was professional and very knowledgeable. After our consultation, we felt a little more confident and decided to go with them. Chadernnay continued to be our contact and was able to advise promptly and hold our hand through the whole process. I am please to report that our application was successful. I would 100% recommend using Homz. Thank you again to Chadernnay and the team.
