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.
