Portfolio : Conservation area management

We are committed to the concept of conservation areas, based on researched analysis of their special character and appearance. To help local councils and residents ensure that conservation areas are properly defined and policies and initiatives are realistic and relevant, we have developed our own researched methodologies for assessing townscape and special character consistent with the latest good practice guidance and the particular requirements of our clients. Our conservation area character appraisals, management reviews and scoping studies have been used in the designation of new conservation areas; reviewing boundaries and policies for existing areas, and in projects for enhancement and regeneration. Clients to date include local councils in both England and Scotland, individual residents and other architects. We have also trained local authority planning officers in carrying out character appraisals and have acted in planning appeals.
