Our Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) service ensures that the cultural, historical, and architectural significance of heritage sites is thoroughly understood, respected, and preserved amid ongoing or proposed development projects. It is a critical step in heritage-sensitive planning and infrastructure execution.
At ARC LICO, our HIA approach is guided by rigorous research, site-specific analysis, and compliance with national and international heritage standards. We assess the potential impacts of proposed developments on heritage resources—tangible and intangible—and provide evidence-based recommendations to mitigate adverse effects. This includes evaluating proximity risks, visual and spatial impacts, construction-related disturbances, and potential disruptions to cultural significance.
Our interdisciplinary team conducts archival research, stakeholder consultations, site inspections, and technical assessments to deliver a well-rounded analysis. Each HIA is tailored to the context of the site—be it a historic district, archaeological zone, built structure, or culturally important landscape.
Ultimately, our goal is to help our clients move forward with development while safeguarding heritage assets. We ensure that projects not only meet regulatory requirements but also contribute to the long-term sustainability and cultural integrity of the communities they serve.
