Local Challenges
Internal Alterations in City of London
The primary challenge in the City is the prevalence of listed buildings and architecturally significant estates like the Barbican. Any alteration demands a deep understanding of historic materials or complex post-war construction techniques. Gaining Listed Building Consent from the City of London Corporation requires robust structural justification to prove minimal impact on historic fabric. Our experience in this highly regulated environment means we can devise solutions that satisfy both your ambitions and the planners' strict criteria.
