Day-to-day operating brief

What Heritage Officer (Planning) work looks like in practice

A Planning Heritage Officer advises a planning authority on applications affecting listed buildings, conservation areas, archaeology and other heritage assets. Terms should cover caseload, consultations, site visits, significance, impact, policy, conditions, enforcement interfaces, committee reports and appeals. The officer advises within planning authority but should not predetermine applications, promise outcomes or substitute heritage expertise for structural, legal or building-control decisions. Case notes should separate applicant claims, consultee evidence, officer assessment and the final decision-maker's conclusion. Similar nearby approvals may inform context but should not replace assessment of the current asset, proposal and policy, especially where earlier files contain different fabric or incomplete reasoning. Consultation records should connect the assessed heritage significance to the specific design effect and proposed mitigation. Conditions need precise triggers and approval stages, avoiding vague requirements that cannot be monitored during construction.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Review applications and heritage evidence.
Visit sites and assess significance.
Draft consultations and conditions.
Support committees appeals and enforcement.
