Conservation Area and Listed Building Notes
Substantial portions of Shoreditch sit within the South Shoreditch Conservation Area, the Boundary Estate Conservation Area, and the Redchurch Street Conservation Area, with Hackney and Tower Hamlets as relevant LPAs. Many warehouse conversions and Victorian terraces are Grade II listed. Secondary glazing is the conservation-officer-preferred acoustic upgrade because it leaves the original primary window untouched and is fully reversible.
We provide Heritage Statements and reversible-installation drawings as part of any Listed Building Consent submission package, and routinely work with Hackney's and Tower Hamlets' conservation teams on warehouse-conversion acoustic upgrades.
