Guidance Library
The HELM website includes information on guidance available from English Heritage, as well as local authorities, amenity groups and relevant bodies.
English Heritage
The English Heritage guidance library can be searched and guidance downloaded as PDF documents.
Local Authorities
Many Local Authorities produce their own guidance on a wide range of topics and English Heritage is keen to encourage sharing of knowledge and experience. A list of guidance documents and links is available from our Local Authority guidance section.
In 2004, English Heritage commissioned Oxford Brookes University to collate the database of local authority publications on the historic environment. An initial telephone pilot survey was followed by a comprehensive questionnaire survey. A summary report of the data can be downloaded.
You can also fill in our online form to submit Local Authority guidance of your own.
What's New
- English Heritage has now launched the Historic Enivironment Traineeship (HET) Scheme. The first Trainees started work with English Heritage in October 2008 and have been placed within our regional teams across the country. They will gain experience in the application of professional conservation management skills in a planning and development context.
- 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.
