Venue Photography for listed-building consent

For venue photography at a listed-building consent we plan around three things: opening hours, sight lines and weather windows. Listed-building consent submissions need imagery that shows fabric honestly — the shoot is scoped for the conservation officer, not the buyer.

Context

Heritage consent imagery is fabric-first.

What that looks like on the ground: interior + exterior + aerial pack for marketing site and brochure. Everything moves at conservation-officer pace; nothing on the building leaves a mark.
