Heritage Consultant for Listed Buildings, Heritage Planning and Historic Properties
The Heritage Consultancy delivers clear, commercially aware and up-to-date heritage planning advice on planning and conservation matters affecting listed buildings, historic properties and the wider historic environment. As an experienced Heritage Consultant, I support homeowners, developers, architects and professional teams in securing successful outcomes for proposals affecting listed buildings, heritage assets and development sites.
With a specialist focus on heritage planning, planning applications and Listed Building Consent, I prepare well-researched, robust and proportionate Heritage Impact Statements, Heritage Assessments and Heritage Statements for a wide range of projects. I also undertake Level 1, 2 and 3 Building Record Surveys and Listed Building Surveys in accordance with Historic England guidance, providing accurate and reliable documentation to support planning and conservation objectives.
I combine technical expertise with a pragmatic approach, helping clients navigate the planning process efficiently and with confidence. When the right strategy is in place from the outset, securing consent need not be complex.

Adrienne Ridler-Lee MSc

I am a Heritage Consultant specialising in the protection and thoughtful evolution of the historic built environment, working across both urban and rural contexts. I hold an MSc in the Conservation and Management of Historic Buildings from the Cultural Heritage Institute at the Royal Agricultural University, Cirencester, and have a strong background in property and estate management, bringing a commercially aware and pragmatic approach to my work.
As an independent Heritage Consultant, I provide specialist advice on listed buildings, heritage planning, heritage assessments and historic properties across Dorset, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Hampshire, Wiltshire, London and the wider South of England.
I advise on a wide range of projects, including historic houses, new development and the adaptation of traditional farm buildings. Each project is carefully considered to ensure it responds appropriately to its setting, character and specific historic or architectural significance.
My work includes guiding development proposals ranging from urban regeneration schemes to countryside new-build projects, as well as the integration of appropriate renewable energy solutions, ensuring a balanced and sensitive approach to both heritage and sustainability.
I am committed to delivering clear, balanced and well-informed advice that protects the relationship between place, landscape and built form, enabling positive change while preserving the qualities that define our towns, villages and countryside for future generations.
