The Government has published Planning Policy Statement 5 which categorises the above under the generic name of Heritage Assets.

We advise upon PPS5, especially its new requirements and the terminology now employed, which are additional to, rather than a replacement of, existing requirements.

All applications for listed building consent or conservation area consent or planning permission where a Heritage Asset is involved must be validated by a Heritage Statement.

We specialise in preparing these assessments as adequate guidance as to appropriate format and contents has yet to be published.
This necessitates negotiations with the relevant Local Planning Authority on a case by case basis.
