by
Helen Ensor – Associate Director, Donald Insall Associates
Projects involving listed buildings and other heritage assets are often more complicated than other types of building project and have a reputation for being slow and expensive. The process for obtaining listed building consent and planning permission affecting the heritage relies on understanding and evaluating heritage significance – but what is ‘heritage significance’ and who gets to decide what it is significant and what isn’t? This talk will attempt to de-mystify the idea of heritage significance and explain why having a proper and robust understanding of significance can be the key to unlocking the ability to develop a site
