The built environment is of huge cultural and social significance. It represents different time periods and holds memories and associations for individuals or groups of people.
For planning applications that affect a heritage asset, a heritage statement will typically be required. But writing heritage statements for planning applications requires an in-depth knowledge of the built environment.
As a graduate of the University of Leicester’s Centre for Urban History, with an MA in Urban Conservation (Distinction), the conservation and preservation of the historic environment is something close to the heart of Goldfinch Heritage
Today, we offer freelance heritage impact statements, heritage character statements and wider historic building conservation services. We can articulate and document the heritage value of historic buildings or townscapes, with this information then available to be used as part of planning applications.
