Heritage Consultancy

At Liston Surveys, we provide specialist heritage consultancy services to support planning applications and development proposals affecting listed buildings, conservation areas, and heritage assets. Our role is to help clients navigate the complex planning process while ensuring that the historic environment is properly considered and respected.

With over 30 years of combined experience working alongside heritage officers, we understand the level of detail and sensitivity required to secure approval for projects involving historic buildings and sites. This experience allows us to anticipate potential concerns, provide well-balanced advice, and deliver documentation that meets both client needs and planning authority expectations.

We produce clear, professional reports that assess the significance of heritage assets and the potential impact of proposed works. By balancing heritage protection with the requirements of modern development, we provide solutions that are both sensitive and practical.

Our team works closely with homeowners, developers, architects, and planning authorities to deliver well-reasoned advice and robust supporting documentation. This ensures your application meets policy requirements and stands the best chance of success.
