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.

What's New?

  • Britain was the world’s first industrial nation and has a wealth of industrial heritage but many industrial sites have been lost or are at risk due to functional redundancy. English Heritage's survey has shown that the percentage of listed industrial buildings at risk is three times greater than the national average for listed buildings at risk.
  • The value of a well managed, protected and appreciated historic environment to both our quality of life and to the economy is well established. Heritage tourism contributes £20.6 billion to GDP a year whilst research shows that 93% of people think that in improving their local place it is important to save heritage assets.
