Priority Service
Priority support for well-developed, conservation-led proposals.
Need a Heritage report quickly?
Our priority service provides an expedited Heritage Statement or Heritage Impact Assessment for suitable projects, with delivery within 5 working days following receipt of the information required to undertake our assessment.
Application held up?
The council has requested a Heritage Statement or Heritage Impact Assessment and your proposals are already sufficiently developed.
Council request?
Respond quickly to requests for heritage information where your scheme is ready for assessment.
Unexpected heritage considerations?
Your site has been identified as heritage sensitive during the planning process and you need expert input.
Tight deadline?
We can help you meet council deadlines and keep your application moving (where the project is suitable for our Priority Service).
How our Priority Service works
A straightforward process to get your application back on track.
Get in touch
Tell us about your project and your deadline.
Initial review
We'll review your proposals and information to confirm suitability for our Priority Service and provide a fee proposal (30% uplift on standard fee).
Confirm & instruct
Once agreed, we'll issue the deposit invoice and confirm the programme.
Delivery within 5 working days
We'll get to work and you'll receive a high-quality report, ready to support your planning application.
Is your project suitable?
To maintain our professional standards, we an only offer our Priority Service for projects where the scope of works is clear and the necessary drawings and supporting information are already available.
Before accepting a Priority instruction, we undertake an initial review to confirm that the proposals are sufficiently developed and that the expedited programme will allow us to provide a robust and independent heritage assessment.
If we consider that amendments or further information are required before assessment, we will explain this and advise on the most appropriate next steps.
Fast doesn't mean less rigorous.
Our Priority Services changes the programme, not our professional assessment. All projects are assessed to the same high standards, providing clear, evidence-based advice you can rely on.
