Expert Witness

Our team of experienced heritage consultants provide expert witness services for planning inquiries, public hearings, appeals and court cases involving heritage matters. We have acted as expert witnesses at a number of planning inquiries and hearings, providing evidence on behalf of applicants, objectors and local planning authorities.

Our expert witness work covers a wide range of heritage issues, including the significance and setting of listed buildings, the character and appearance of conservation areas, the potential effects of development on scheduled monuments and other designated heritage assets, and the adequacy of heritage assessments prepared in support of planning applications.

We ensure that our expert evidence is clear, balanced, well-structured, and presented in accordance with the relevant procedural rules. Our experts are experienced in giving oral evidence and in responding to cross-examination.
