Understanding what makes a building significant
Sound decisions about a historic Notting Hill house begin with understanding what makes it significant — which features, fabric and qualities give it its value — before deciding what can change. Get that understanding right and you can propose confident, sympathetic change; get it wrong and you risk harming the building and losing the application.
Heritage advice underpins almost everything else here. A clear statement of significance shapes the design, supports a conservation-area or listed-building consent application, and answers the questions RBKC’s conservation officers will ask about the stucco terraces and the garden-square setting. It is the difference between a proposal that reads as careful and one that reads as careless.
We assess significance, prepare the heritage statements that applications need, and advise on listed-building and conservation decisions — and because we also design and build, that advice connects directly to a deliverable scheme rather than sitting in a report on its own. Honest budgets in pounds sterling throughout.
