What does the day look like?
You spend 70% to 75% of the day at a desk: you read Listed Building Consent applications, check architectural plans and planning history in Idox Uniform and Northgate Planning, open maps in ESRI ArcGIS, QGIS and DEFRA MAGIC Map, check the asset in the Historic Environment Record and the National Heritage List for England, then you write the statutory appraisal report and answer pre-application queries by email.
You spend 20% to 25% on site: you measure with a Leica Disto, check damp with a Protimeter, gauge cracks, take geo-tagged photos with a digital SLR, negotiate harm reduction with developers and architects, and prepare Section 215 notices and Urgent Works Notices. About 5% is the imagined glamorous part, not hands-on restoration. You work 37 hours per week, with no night shifts, plus planning committees on 1 to 2 evenings per month.
