The buildings, streetscapes and townscapes that hold historic significance are a vital part of British culture and should be preserved as best they can. This is what UK conservation legislation helps to maintain.
The reasons for which conservation legislation exists are multiple. First and foremost, they are in place to prevent the destruction or irreparable alteration of the historic built environment.
This world can be difficult to understand or negotiate for anybody unsure of how the land lies. If you are looking to carry out work on your home for example, but it is a listed building, there are limitations as to what you may or may not be able to do.
At Goldfinch Heritage, we have a working knowledge of building conservation legislation in the UK, and provide historic building conservation services to help you negotiate this area. Founder Sean has an MA in Urban Conservation from the University of Leicester’s Centre for Urban History, and is an affiliate member of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC).
Our historic building conservation services include reviewing your situation and being able to give tailored advice based on the specific set of circumstances you are facing.
We can provide guidance on the best steps to take, be this to create a heritage impact statement, heritage character statement, or put you in touch with another specialist in the industry.
Whatever you may be requiring in the conservation legislation space, Goldfinch Heritage can help.
Be sure to get in touch if you have any questions. We will be delighted to support you!
