As per NPPF Art. 194, a Heritage Statement is required in applications for buildings protected under the national policy. Before granting consent, the local authority must understand your property’s heritage significance.
A Heritage Statement provides the history of your building and its context. It establishes its historical, cultural, aesthetic, architectural, or evidential value to assess its heritage significance.
The report will include a Heritage Impact Assessment. This analyses the potential effect of the proposed works on the building’s significance and its area.
