Streets for All: Guidance for practitioners

The front cover of Streets for All: East of England which shows people walking through the leaf-covered market place in Elm Hill, NorwichStreets for All are practical guidance manuals aimed at all those involved in managing, designing or maintaining the public realm.  This includes councillors, highways professionals, landscape and urban designers, town planning and conservation staff, amenity societies, contractors and utility companies.  Produced in conjunction with the Department for Transport, each regional volume of Streets for All emphasises the need to take account of local identity and avoid standardised solutions.

The documents were published in 2005.  Hard copies are available from the relevant English Heritage regional office and electronic versions can be downloaded as PDFs from this website.

To support the Streets for All guidance manuals that have been produced, English Heritage has held a range of training events throughout England.

How can we make the most of the forthcoming heritage protection reforms, - although the Heritage Protection Bill was not included in the Queen’s Speech, a raft of changes which do not require legislative change are currently underway – new planning policy statements, and related guidance?
  • English Heritage, which launched the Save our Streets campaign in 2004, has now published the best “how to” examples from around the country in ten Streets for All: Practical Case Studies. These showcase examples of councils who have taken the initiative to deal with a particular aspect of street clutter.
