Experienced People.
Personal Service.
Practical Solutions.
The Heritage Practice is an independent heritage consultancy bringing together a small team of highly experienced conservation and planning professionals.
Our strength lies in our people. With extensive experience in senior roles within local planning authorities, Historic England and private practice, we bring specialist knowledge, sound judgement and a practical understanding of the planning process to every project.
We deliberately remain a small, agile practice, allowing us to provide a genuinely personal and responsive service. Our clients work directly with experienced senior professionals throughout their projects, rather than being passed down to junior staff
Creative Thinking.
Sound Judgement.
Added Value.
We are passionate about architecture, design and the historic environment. We see our role as more than simply identifying heritage constraints; we work closely with our clients and design teams to explore opportunities, shape proposals and achieve successful outcomes.
We combine creative thinking with insightful analysis, sound professional judgement and a thorough understanding of the planning process. Our approach is constructive, commercially aware and focused on finding practical solutions that respect the historic environment while meeting our clients' aspirations.
We believe good heritage advice should add value, not simply manage risk.
The People Behind the Practice
Our team brings together decades of experience across the public and private sectors, including senior roles within local planning authorities and Historic England.
We understand not only the historic environment, but also the practical realities of securing consent and delivering successful projects.
At The Heritage Practice, the people you meet are the people who work with you throughout your project. It's an approach built on personal relationships, continuity and trust.
