Heritage Reports in Kent and East Sussex

Heritage Statement Writing Service for Listed Buildings – Weald and City Surveyors Limited
At Weald and City Surveyors Limited, we produce comprehensive Heritage Statements for listed buildings across Kent and East Sussex. Our expertise and in-depth knowledge of historic properties ensure your project is guided by best-practice principles, so you can proceed with confidence and clarity.

A Heritage Statement is a written assessment of a listed building’s historic, architectural, and cultural significance. It documents the property’s history, highlights its defining features, and evaluates its current condition. The report also offers guidance on conservation considerations and potential development opportunities, all of which can inform and support applications for listed building consent.

• Planning Requirements: A Heritage Statement is often required by local authorities if you intend to carry out any alterations, extensions, or other works on a listed building.
• Conservation and Protection: By thoroughly examining a building’s special features, a Heritage Statement promotes sensitive, sustainable approaches to any proposed changes.
• Informed Decision-Making: An accurate understanding of the building’s significance enables you to plan more effectively, thereby reducing risks of unnecessary delays or complications.

We prepare every Heritage Statement in accordance with British Standard BS 7913, “Guide to the Conservation of Historic Buildings.” This ensures our work meets the highest standards of heritage conservation, giving you complete assurance in the rigour and reliability of our findings.
