Over a decade of award winning service…

Locus is a national RTPI award-winning heritage consultancy, founded in 2012 and now co-owned by Adam and Tom.

Nearly fourteen years on, we are an independent heritage planning consultancy, working with clients across the UK, with projects mostly split between Greater London and the Midlands.

Our philosophy is simple: Bring development and heritage assets together to create successful places for our clients and future communities.
