ABOUT
Our Background
m.b Heritage was established in 2009 as a professional development consultancy specialising in the fields of historic buildings, area conservation, archaeology and urban design. Our Managing Director, Mike Bottomley, has over 20 years experience training and working as a conservation specialist for local government and within the commercial sector. We work with a wide range of public and private sector clients on residential, retail, commercial and industrial projects throughout the United Kingdom.
Understanding and working with our built heritage is now essential to unlocking the development potential of many sites and buildings. Over one third of development applications raise issues in respect of listed buildings, conservation areas and sites and buildings of local interest. m.b Heritage has a proven track record for reducing risk and helping to secure speedy and positive planning decisions within this field.
m.b Heritage is able to provide competitive and flexible services tailored specifically to the requirements of your project. Please contact us for an initial discussion about how we can assist.
