Heritage Planning

At LPP, we appreciate the value of historic buildings, but we also understand the particular challenges that heritage assets bring to the planning process. We work collaboratively with architects, specialist advisors, conservation officers and Historic England to secure sympathetic and sustainable changes to historic buildings and places without damaging their heritage significance.

National and local policies concerning planning for the historic environment have evolved over recent years with protection offered to certain non-listed buildings and groups, as well as statutory listed buildings, conservation areas and scheduled monuments.  

We have clients that own historic buildings as part of their property investment portfolio, and consequently we use our in-house expertise and experience on heritage matters to plan for suitable and viable uses and adaptations for this type of property.
