Common questions
What permissions are needed?
Conservation area: shopfront replacement usually requires planning permission. Listed building: also requires listed building consent. The specialist will prepare the heritage statement and drawings, and handle the application.
Can lost features be reinstated?
Yes — pilasters, cornices, fascias, mullions and traditional shop windows can all be recreated from historic photographs, neighbouring examples, or surviving fragments. Many high streets benefit from heritage-led restoration that recovers the original character.
