Our expert heritage impact statement reports are priced depending on the complexity of the development and depending on the heritage value of the building. Below is an example of our standard fees for heritage impact statements.
A simple heritage impact statement for a development within a heritage conservation area is a report that is provided for minor alterations within heritage conservation areas where the development will have no impact on the heritage conservation area. This report is suitable for developments that are internal alterations or rear extensions where the development is not easily viewed from the street.
A standard heritage impact statement for a development within a heritage conservation area is a report that is provided for developments within a heritage conservation area that result in impacts on the heritage conservation area. This includes developments that alter the existing building and can be seen from a public place or developments that change the heritage value of the building within the heritage conservation area.
This type of heritage impact statement is for development on registered heritage items. The cost of the report depends on the design of the development and on the heritage value of the building.
Are you looking at purchasing a new property, or already own a property and want to know what your restriction are and what you can do with the property? Have us prepare a preliminary planning feasibility on the site. The preliminary planning feasibility provides a review of the site against the relevant legislation and identifies any potential issues with development and can recommend the best avenue for intensification of the site.
