Historic Building Recording
A Historic Building Recording is a permanent drawn, written, and photographic record of a historic building or structure in advance of alterations to the physical fabric, most often required by the Local Planning Authority as a condition of planning permission or Listed Building Consent.
What is a Historic Building Recording?
​
Even successful planning applications often come with conditions attached, and one of the most common is a Historic Building Recording, which is often requested by the local planning authority before you start work. This is a survey and recording of the historic building as it is before the works commence, with all of its surviving features intact, carried out to varying levels of detail in line with the conditions specified by the local planning authority. To ensure this condition can be met quickly and without a hitch, get in touch with Blue Willow Heritage.
