Fuller Long Heritage Consultants
We are experts in all areas of Heritage, Conservation, Archaeology and the Historic Environment relating to development, planning permission and listed building consent.
Our Heritage Team are members of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC), Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) and many have at some point in their careers worked for local authorities. We therefore fully understand the intricacies of the planning process from a local authority perspective. Our team has a wide range of experiences from small domestic properties to grand country houses as well as large mixed-use developments across both rural and urban settings.
With more than 375,000 listed buildings and approximately 10,000 Conservation Areas in England along with buildings locally listed by a local planning authority. These all create a sense of place and make a valuable historic, architectural, aesthetic and cultural contribution.
Should you own or are looking to purchase a Listed Building or live within a Conservation Area, we are here to assist you at every turn. Our experts understand the legislation and requirements of your local Conservation Officers. We work to protect your interests and unlock your building’s potential, advising on proactive conservation and sympathetic changes.
Making changes or demolishing buildings need not be fraught with stress and complication. To ensure the most timely and cost effective route of achieving your goals it’s essential to know where you stand from the outset thus determining the very best route through the planning process.

We are experts in:
Our Heritage Feasibility Assessments are ideal for owners of listed buildings, locally listed buildings (non-designated heritage assets), properties or plots of land near a heritage asset as well as properties within conservation areas. The assessment will be tailored to the type of designation as well as your aspirations for the property.
Our Pre-Purchase Assessments are ideal for prospective buyers looking to purchase listed buildings (Grade I, Grade II* and Grade II), locally listed buildings (e.g. non-designated heritage assets), properties or plots of land near a heritage asset as well as properties within conservation areas. The assessment will be tailored to the type of designation as well as your aspirations for the property.
There are over 375,000 listed buildings in England. These create a sense of place and make a valuable historic, architectural, aesthetic and cultural contribution. We pride ourselves on protecting and enhancing these qualities, offering expert advice on maintenance conservation and assisting building owners in achieving their aspirations.
We are here to work with you and to help you achieve your aspirations. We can help you to understand the requirements of the local planning authority and can liaise and negotiate on your behalf.
FullerLong offer design and conservation advice and can identify development potential and find creative solutions for sites in conservation areas.
Local Planning Authorities will require a Heritage Statement to support an application for planning permission or Listed Building Consent where the proposal may have an impact on a building or area considered to be of architectural, historical, or archaeological interest.
Our team of qualified heritage professionals are ready to assist with appeals associated with listed buildings and conservation areas. We provide a range of services, including taking on the entire appeals process or supporting evidence with standalone heritage advice, for example acting as an Expert Witness.
With circa 200,000 scheduled monuments including sites such as Roman remains and burial mounds to castles and bridges. Any works required on a monument require scheduled monument consent and developments in the vicinity of a scheduled monument may also required specialist heritage advice and input for the planning process.
If your planning or listed building consent application has been refused and recommended to a public inquiry then we can offer professional advice and assistance to support the public inquiry. We can handle the entire process, producing the appeal statement and liaising with local authorities and the Planning Inspectorate so as to ensure a seamless and stress free process.
Our team are ready to assist with the creation of Desk Based Assessments for both Archaeology (ADBA) and the Historic Environment (HEDBA) to support a planning application. A Desk Based Assessment (DBA) is a common requirement set by a Local Planning Authority on those working within the development sector and home owners (when considering an extension). The assessment will cover the likely archaeological or historic environment potential of a given site or area.
