“I have known Tristan for several years – and he and Squire Heritage have assisted my practice most ably on a number of diverse projects. He has worked with me both in the London Boroughs for urban sites but also more rurally in the South East and West Country, where heritage planning and design matters require an independent mind and allied consultancy support. Tristan is a delight to work with – he’s thoughtful, responsive, thorough and flexible. I would recommend Squire Heritage highly, particularly where projects may benefit from a careful archival approach from the outset, ensuring emerging development schemes are steered in the right planning direction”.

“We have relied on Tristan’s expert advice and expertise when dealing with complex planning applications on heritage assets.

“We appointed Tristan Squire to advise on our planning application for a new beach house in Southwold. The building had a local listing and is located in a conservation area and an area of outstanding natural beauty. So, the planning process was arduous, from initial application, refusal, appeal and planning resubmission. Thankfully, Tristan advised at all stages of the process. His strong local knowledge, independent, objective and practical advice together with a detailed understanding of planning regulation was invaluable in enabling us to gain approval to build in such a sensitive location.”
