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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions – Heritage Assessments

Do all listed building applications need a Heritage Impact Assessment?

Yes. Planning and listed building consent both require a heritage statement under UK law. We help meet these statutory requirements with confidence.

Can I make changes to a property in a conservation area?

Yes — but you’ll need to demonstrate that your proposal preserves or enhances the character of the area. Our reports help justify your design.

What if the council has already objected on heritage grounds?

We can help prepare a retrospective or enhanced heritage statement to support resubmissions or an appeal. Get in touch for urgent support.
