ITT - Demonstrating the impact of Historic England’s planning advice - UID 368
Historic England, the public body responsible for advising on and protecting England’s historic environment, is commissioning a focused evaluation of whether its planning advice on Grade II listed building consent (LBC) applications involving statutory “relevant works” leads to material changes in development proposals. The supplier will compare applications that received Historic England advice with closely matched Grade II applications that did not, assessing whether proposals were materially amended in ways consistent with identified heritage concerns rather than focusing on whether consent was ultimately granted or refused. The estimated contract value is £40,000, although no contract duration or delivery timetable is specified in the available information. Delivery regions and physical sites are not specified; the work will concern relevant Grade II LBC applications within Historic England’s remit. The critical qualification is the ability to undertake a robust comparative evaluation of planning advice and its effects on heritage-related development proposals.

From the official notice
Historic England seeks a supplier to undertake a focused evaluation of whether its advice on Grade II listed building consent (LBC) applications involving statutory ‘relevant works’ leads to material changes in development proposals. The study will compare applications receiving Historic England advice with closely matched Grade II applications that did not receive that advice. The principal outcome to be evaluated is the material amendment of the proposal in a way consistent with heritage concerns, rather than the ultimate grant or refusal of consent.
