Dr David Hickie was formerly Assistant Regional Director with English Heritage (now called Historic England) before setting up Heritage Matters. He is a Full Member of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC) and a Member of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain. “By understanding why a historic building is important and the needs of users, we enable clients to unlock the potential of their historic buildings. Reshaping and reusing our built heritage is vital to creating a more sustainable world and contributing to the heritage of the future...”

We are often called in to help when the local authority Conservation Officer or Planning Officer does not like your proposals. As your listed building consultants,  we can help work through the issues, attend site meetings and help ensure that you can achieve a satisfactory resolution of the problem.

“The reason why David’s company is so unbelievably busy must be that David’s mindset, contacts and skillset are those of a ‘problem-solver’ laterally thinking ‘outside of the box’. The difference is that unlike such usual people I’ve met in the past – David delivers – we were fortunate to have him.” Andrew McG, Gloucestershire

Current projects include renovations/extensions to Country Houses in the Cotswolds, the Home Counties and North Yorkshire; and, luxury listed townhouses in Knightsbridge and Chelsea.
