At Heritage Unlimited, based in London, we provide a professional heritage statement service tailored to meet your needs. Our experienced team of heritage professionals offer comprehensive advice and guidance for all types of heritage projects.
A Heritage Statement, also known as a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) is a process of evaluating the potential impact of a proposed development or project on heritage resources. The purpose of the statement is to identify any potential impacts on historic or cultural resources, and to determine appropriate mitigation measures to minimise or avoid any negative impacts.
The purpose of a Heritage Statement is to ensure that any development or project is carried out in a manner that protects and preserves cultural heritage resources, including buildings, landscapes, archaeological sites, and other important cultural artefacts. The assessment typically involves research, documentation, and analysis of the historical and cultural significance of the resources in question, as well as an evaluation of the potential impacts of the proposed development on these resources.
The statement process may be required by local or national laws or regulations, or it may be voluntarily undertaken by developers or other interested parties. The results of the assessment can be used to inform the decision-making process for the proposed development, and may be used to shape the design and implementation of the project to minimise any negative impact on cultural heritage resources.
Our services include assessments for listed buildings and other protected areas as well as advice on planning applications, conservation policies and more.
We understand the complexities of dealing with heritage assets and can help you navigate the process with ease.
