Highfield House, Ripon
Level 3 Historic Building Record
The Brief:
An architecture firm in North Yorkshire required immediate help to release a planning condition for an archaeological building record before development could start on site. The building had undergone several phases of development, despite a lack of historic research. Time was of the utmost concern, as all other conditions had been discharged and work was ready to begin. A level three archaeological building record had to be to be produced in a very short timescale, including a comprehensive assessment of the history and significance of the site.
We Delivered:
Our staff undertook the historic research and archive trips, whilst our archaeologist undertook the site visit to carry out the photographic record and undertake the architectural analysis. We discussed findings to gain a deeper understanding of the building’s evolution and each team member produced their respective sections concurrently. This was then pulled together into a well – rounded, informed report that satisfied the planning condition. Our team delivered the completed report within six days of the inception meeting, meeting the client deadline
