Heritage Consultancy

We work with clients preparing planning applications, large and small, to understand risks to development proposals caused by the historic environment. 

Understanding that each site’s requirements are different, ISCA offers a range of services to navigate a project through heritage issues, including Desk-Based Heritage and Archaeological Assessments, detailed Settings Assessments and Conservation Management Plans. 

Historic Building Recording is required when a planning condition requires that a historic building, either statutorily listed or unlisted, be recorded prior to it being altered, extended, or demolished. 

In accordance with Historic England guidance, we offer four levels of recording that can be applied. These range from a basic visual record (Level 1), through to a comprehensive analytical record (Level 4). 

As part of the managed redevelopment of a site, we will work with clients and with the statutory authorities, providing expertise to ensure the best possible outcome. 

ISCA Archaeology prepares Conservation, Heritage and Archaeological Management Plans for historic buildings, archaeological sites and cultural landscapes.

These plans identify the significance of a heritage asset and provide clear, practical policies for its protection, maintenance and future management. They are used to guide repair and alteration works, support funding applications and inform long-term conservation strategies.

Our plans are prepared in accordance with guidance from Historic England and the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists, and are tailored to the specific needs of each site.

Suitable for listed buildings, scheduled monuments, historic estates and archaeological landscapes, these plans provide a clear framework for their long-term care and conservation.
