HERITAGE STATEMENTS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS IN CAMBRIDGE
HERITAGE STATEMENTS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS IN CAMBRIDGE
A heritage statement for a Cambridge project should explain the asset before it attempts to justify the proposal. The local heritage context is an internationally important historic city of colleges, medieval and Georgian streets, scholarly buildings, villas and converted industrial property. Applications can involve college and university buildings, historic stone and brick town houses, Victorian villas and terraces and former workshops and industrial buildings, where exceptionally sensitive settings, high-quality historic interiors, archaeology and the pressure to introduce modern research, accessibility and environmental performance may influence the acceptability of change. AMS Surveys prepares Heritage Statements and Heritage Impact Assessments for owners, architects and developers who need a defensible assessment of significance, setting and likely effect. The report is scaled to the proposal, whether it concerns alterations within a college or institutional building, repair to historic stone, brick or joinery or a wider development affecting the asset’s surroundings. The main Heritage Statements hub remains the complete explanation of methodology and service scope, while this page concentrates on the planning and conservation issues most relevant to Cambridge and nearby areas including Ely, Newmarket, Huntingdon and St Ives.

SCHEDULE OF CONDITION FAQs
What Is A Schedule of Condition?
A Schedule of Condition is a detailed record of the condition of a property at a specific point in time. It usually includes written descriptions and photographs of visible defects, damage and deterioration.
Why Do I Need A Schedule of Condition?
A Schedule of Condition can help protect tenants, landlords, property owners and contractors by providing clear evidence of a building’s condition before a lease begins or construction works take place nearby.
When Should A Schedule of Condition Be Prepared?
It should be prepared before signing a commercial lease, starting building works, undertaking party wall works or carrying out activities that could affect neighbouring properties. The inspection should take place before occupation or work begins.
Who Pays For A Schedule of Condition?
The cost is normally paid by the party requesting the report. This may be a tenant seeking to limit repairing liabilities, a landlord documenting the condition of a property or a contractor protecting against future damage claims.
ABOUT LOCATION
The right survey depends on the property type and level of risk. Most modern, conventional homes are suitable for a Level 2 Homebuyer Survey, while older or altered properties often benefit from a Level 3 Building Survey.
