About Mel Morris
Mel Morris has over 25 years experience of working in historic environment conservation, of which 15 were spent as a conservation officer within large, multi-disciplinary teams. Mel is particularly experienced in working with major Grade I & II* listed buildings, museums located within historic buildings & conservation area regeneration.
Since establishing the consultancy in 2001, the range of work has included 36 Conservation Area Appraisals, several Conservation Management Plans for complex sites with scheduled monuments, and a number of challenging planning applications for private clients who own listed buildings.
“I believe passionately in making conservation of our heritage accessible and understandable to all. I ensure that all documents we produce use plain English & avoid jargon. I am often complimented on how easy our reports are to read & use.
I work closely with local conservation officers and English Heritage to achieve the best possible outcomes & we regularly exceed our clients’ expectations.
The consultancy does not produce generic or corporate-style documents or harbour pre-conceived ideas.
I work with each client to identify issues & priorities, so that each piece of work is tailor-made & fit for purpose. Conservation is often about balancing an understanding of the economics of conservation with the significance of a building or place, whilst always taking care to preserve the detail. “
