EH launches Good Practice Guide on Local Lists

In recognition of the importance of local heritage lists, English Heritage (EH) has developed a Good Practice Guide to support the preparation and management of local heritage lists.

The document is the first comprehensive guide to local heritage listing in England. It draws on good practice from across the country in developing a new local heritage list or making improvements to an existing one, and includes a number of case studies illustrating key aspects of the process. EH advises the Guide should be seen as a starting point in order to respond to local needs, and that decisions on the way assets are identified and the system used for managing the local heritage list are matters for local planning authorities and local communities.
