    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The insight programme showed how heritage consultancy operated the the structures in which they work. I undertook research on site proposals in order to prepare for heritage statements. I was also shown the legislation and archival resources that are used to analyse structures and whether their proposals are viable. On Monday, we did a site visit to Surrey in which we met the Architect and discussed plans and alterations to the said property.
