Berrys is delighted to announce the appointment of Alexandra Rowley, an experienced Senior Heritage Consultant who joins the firm to strengthen its growing Heritage and Archaeology team.

Alexandra brings over nine years’ experience advising on development affecting the historic environment. She has worked on proposals of all scales involving sensitive and significant heritage assets, including listed buildings, conservation areas, world heritage sites and registered parks and gardens.

Beginning her career at a leading built heritage consultancy in central London, Alexandra has been involved in complex development schemes from feasibility through to application, appeal and public inquiry. She has worked as part of multidisciplinary teams on strategic land allocations, large-scale housing developments, urban regeneration and the adaptive reuse of historic buildings.

Her expertise includes finely balanced heritage assessments, due diligence and feasibility reporting and strategic representations in the local plan process. She has provided heritage evidence for major public inquiries, including high-profile schemes such as the National Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre, the former Stag Brewery redevelopment and Hulton Park Ryder Cup golf course.

Phoebe Farrell, Partner and Head of Heritage and Archaeology at Berrys, commented:

“We are thrilled to welcome Alexandra to the team. Her extensive experience and understanding of the historic environment will be invaluable to our clients. Alexandra’s appointment reflects our commitment to delivering robust and thoughtful heritage advice, especially as we continue to work on increasingly complex and sensitive sites.”

Alexandra has experience with:

· Listed buildings and adaptive reuse: including the conversion of a Grade I listed country house to a retail gallery and restaurant, and the transformation of a Victorian former Workhouse Infirmary on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register.

· Strategic land and housing: advising on the heritage aspects of strategic land releases, including an allocation of 10,000 homes across seven new villages in East Hertfordshire.

· Urban and infrastructure projects: such as the creation of a new centrepiece at the grade II National Railway Museum in York and assessments for the Illuminated River project affecting nine listed bridges in central London.

“I am excited to be joining Berrys and contributing to the continued growth of its heritage and archaeology services,” said Alexandra. “I look forward to working with colleagues and clients on a wide variety of projects where the historic environment plays a central role.

Her appointment reflects Berrys’ ongoing investment in expert-led, client-focused consultancy across planning, development, and the historic environment.
