Historic Building Recording for Planning Applications and Listed Buildings
If you are reading this page, you may need Historic Building Recording to support a planning application, discharge a planning condition, or obtain Listed Building Consent.
AS Archaeology & Heritage Services provides professional Historic Building Recording surveys for homeowners, architects, developers, planning consultants, landowners, conservation specialists, and contractors throughout the UK.
Historic Building Recording is often required where a building of historic, architectural, or archaeological interest will be altered, converted, extended, repaired, or demolished. The purpose of the survey is to create a permanent record of the building before change takes place, ensuring that its significance, character, and historic development are properly documented.
We record a wide range of structures, including:
- Listed buildings
- Historic houses and farmsteads
- Barn conversions
- Industrial and commercial heritage assets
- Ecclesiastical buildings
- Traditional and vernacular buildings
- Non-designated heritage assets
- Structures affected by demolition or redevelopment
Our surveys are prepared in accordance with national and local planning requirements and can be tailored to the level of recording specified by the Local Planning Authority or archaeological advisor.
A professional Historic Building Recording Survey can:
- Discharge planning conditions relating to heritage assets
- Support Listed Building Consent applications
- Record historic building fabric and architectural features
- Document the evolution and development of a structure
- Preserve information before alteration or demolition
- Meet Historic Environment and Local Authority requirements
- Provide a lasting archive for future research and conservation
