Regeneration & Design | HELM – Historic Environment Local Management

Building in Context

Building in Context aims to stimulate a high standard of design when development takes place in historically sensitive contexts.

Understanding how places change, what makes them distinctive and the significance of their history is the key to regeneration.

The historic environment is an important asset in the economic development and regeneration of rural areas.

The significance of a heritage asset derives not only from its physical presence and historic fabric but also from its setting.
