Heritage & Conservation
Understanding, caring for and enhancing the landscapes of our past—for the benefit of our future
The UK’s heritage is woven into every stone, hedgerow, and landscape—from Iron Age hillforts and ancient field systems to canals, castles, and culturally significant gardens.
Preserving it requires more than just protection. It requires insight, care, and the ability to navigate modern demands without compromising historic integrity.
At Land & Heritage, we support estate managers, planners, and developers in making sensitive, strategic decisions that respect the past while delivering for the present.
We understand your challenges:
How to manage or conserve a significant historic landscape?
Heritage features that may putting your development plans at risk—what now?
This site has multiple designations—who can help you make sense of it all?
Who’s the right heritage specialist to support my planning submission or stewardship goals?
If these questions sound familiar—you’re not alone. And we’re here to help.
How we help
Heritage is often complex—physically, emotionally, and legally. Our role is to remove that complexity, providing clear, evidence-based advice and deliverables that planners trust and heritage advocates respect.
We work across:
-
Historic landscape assessment and conservation planning
-
Sensitive design for development and restoration
-
Strategic guidance in designated or protected sites
And when other disciplines are involved—ecology, arboriculture, or archaeology—we integrate them into a single, joined-up service.
