Within the Planning Department, the Historic Environment and Townscape team (HEaT) provide a specialist service dealing with all aspects of heritage and townscape. We have a track record for delivering complex and landmark planning permissions in sensitive contexts including Marble Arch MandS, Bramshill, National Holocaust Memorial, Stag Brewery, and Smithfield Birmingham.

Our expertise is broad and covers areas that interact closely with one another: the historic environment, urban design, townscape, and landscape. This enables us to function as part of the larger design team, a role we often play on major developments. In this way we contribute directly to the quality of masterplans and how they are explained to the public, engaging with public perceptions.

Our team of 28 specialists and our skill lies in combining research and analysis to a very high standard, and in a planning context. One of our strengths as a practice is that we advocate for our clients based on a scholarly understanding of a site and a clear understanding of how the development process works. That approach is borne out of being embedded into one of the country’s leading property consultancies.ROLE OVERVIEWThe successful candidate will work as an Adviser in a high performing team, contributing to a wide range of high-profile projects where contextual analysis, design and visual impact are critical to the planning process.

The role would incorporate working alongside and supporting senior members of the team to provide advice on the design and detailed approach to historic building works and/or new development in historic areas. The candidate would also advise on the development of tall and large buildings, often within sensitive setting. The work is varied, interesting, and often highly prestigious.
