We understand that working with listed and heritage properties requires care and consideration.
We appreciate that while you would like to extend, alter or make your period property more energy efficient it can be daunting to know how to start given the particular requirements of working with historical buildings.
We will:
- Work with you to explain the issues around working with listed buildings and some of the limitations you may face.
- Explain to you the options for listed building consent and the relative merits of each in conservation terms.
- Help you to navigate the listed building consent process and liaise with the conservation officer.
- Help you to find suitable contractors with experience of working with heritage buildings.
- Advise on other specialist consultants that may be required.
This locally listed building included a new development behind a retained facade of a former public house, deepening of the existing basement and new build accommodation to more than double the existing building footprint. This provided 5000 sq. ft. of commercial space at basement and ground floor level with 7000 sq. ft. of residential accommodation above.
We were appointed as architects and contract administrators to deliver this challenging project on a constrained site in the heart of Kentish Town. Adjacent to a disused London Underground station this site also had a complex set of S106 conditions to be satisfied.
Some tips to consider if you own or are thinking of buying a listed building.
