A Heritage Statement is a document that explains the features and values of a built heritage asset, such as a historic building or monument. It evaluates how the asset’s design and history contribute to its importance and how it relates to its surroundings and analyses how the proposed development may impact or affect the asset’s physical condition, inherent worth and contextual relationship with the historic environment.
If your proposed development may change the appearance or surroundings of a listed building or a non-designated heritage asset (for example, a building on the local list), or if the site is in a Conservation Area, you will probably need to submit a Heritage Statement with your planning application. The planning authority will use this document to assess the impact of your proposals on the historic environment and make recommendations based upon its stated conclusions.
For examples of Heritage Statements go to ‘ Reports‘.
