Wise-prairie - Our Services

We offer a range of services designed to address the diverse challenges facing those responsible for cultural heritage. Each engagement begins with careful listening to understand your particular circumstances and objectives.

Professional conducting heritage documentation

Heritage Impact Assessments

When proposed development or alteration might affect heritage significance, a thorough impact assessment helps identify potential concerns and appropriate mitigation measures. Our assessments satisfy planning authority requirements whilst providing genuine insight into how change might be managed sensitively.

We examine both direct physical impacts and effects on setting, context, and appreciation. The resulting reports support informed decision-making and constructive dialogue with statutory consultees.

Conservation planning documentation process

Conservation Management Plans

For complex heritage sites or collections, a conservation management plan provides the strategic framework essential for consistent, informed stewardship. These documents articulate significance, assess condition and vulnerability, identify policies for future management, and prioritise actions.

Well-crafted plans become invaluable reference tools that guide decisions over many years, ensuring continuity even as personnel change and circumstances evolve.

Traditional building conservation techniques

Architectural Conservation Guidance

Historic buildings require maintenance and repair approaches that respect their particular materials, construction methods, and character. We provide advice on appropriate techniques, suitable materials, and specialist contractors capable of executing sensitive work.

Whether addressing routine maintenance, planned repairs, or emergency interventions following damage, our guidance helps ensure that works enhance rather than diminish heritage value.

Archaeological Evaluation

Development proposals often require archaeological assessment to establish what below-ground heritage might be present and how it should be addressed. We undertake desk-based assessments, coordinate fieldwork with specialist contractors, and prepare the documentation that planning conditions require.

Our archaeologists have experience across periods from prehistory to the industrial era, ensuring competent interpretation of whatever evidence emerges.

Community Heritage Projects

Heritage belongs to communities, and conservation efforts benefit enormously from local knowledge and engagement. We facilitate community heritage projects that document local history, engage residents in conservation activities, and build lasting connections between places and people.

These projects often uncover previously unrecognised heritage assets and generate enthusiasm that sustains stewardship over the long term.
