STRATEGIC CONSERVATION ADVICE

Historic Royal Palaces

We provide strategic advice on planning issues in the vicinity of the palaces, particularly Hampton Court Palace and the Tower of London. We acted as expert witness for Historic Royal Palaces at the public inquiries concerning the London Bridge Tower (the 'Shard of Glass') and development at Potter's Fields.

Heritage Lottery Fund

We devised and set up the UK-wide Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) and managed the first (1998) bidding round. We continue to act as mentors and associate monitors and advise on specific THI schemes, including Liverpool World Heritage Site, schemes in Wales, the East Midlands and the South East of England. We provide expert advice on HLF major grant applications, and act as associate monitors.

States of Jersey

We acted as lead consultant in a review of Jersey's conservation legislation, policy and practice, and in developing conservation policies for historic buildings and areas following its recommendations.

States of Guernsey

We advised on specifying and procuring conservation expertise for the States of Guernsey portfolio of historic sites (properties in care). We also drafted a strategy for the future management of the historic sites, now implemented.

Castle Howard Estate, North Yorkshire

We are contributing to a development strategy to sustain the long-term conservation and maintenance of this well-known grade I listed mansion house set in a grade I registered landscaped park. The Estate includes some 200 listed buildings and scheduled monuments.
