Submit your Local Authority Guidance Here

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.

In 2004, English Heritage commissioned Oxford Brookes University to collate a database of local authority publications on the historic environment. An initial telephone pilot survey was followed by a comprehensive questionnaire survey. This information is now available on the HELM website, along with a summary report.

Currently Local Authority guidance is displayed as a searchable bibliography, with links to the authority website for contacts and to download guidance. We would like your opinion on this and if you believe it would be useful to download LA Guidance directly from the HELM website as well. Email us with your comments and suggestions.

To add your guidance to the HELM website. Please download and submit the LA Guidance HELM Questionnaire. We continually update this database.

  • Heritage Champions Conference 2010

  • Street Clutter
    Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and Transport Secretary Philip Hammond are concerned that the character of the country's urban spaces is being damaged and have urged local authorities to reduce the number of signs and other 'street clutter'. English Heritage shares this concern. We have produced detailed regional guidance and a series of practical case studies help promote the restoration of the character of our streets.
