Historic Buildings and Places

Historic Buildings & Places works to sustain, defend and promote all aspects of the built historic environment, for the benefit of all. We are one of the National Amenity Societies and are unique in defending buildings and places of all ages and all types. We have a particular interest in everyday heritage, hidden treasures and community favourites.ulatory obligations.

Under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, we are consulted by local planning authorities in England and Wales on all Listed Building Consent applications involving an element of demolition, as well as on cases relating to other types of designated and undesignated heritage. We also offer advice on proposed changes to Places of Worship under the Ecclesiastical Exemption and other consent regimes.

Sharing knowledge - As well as our casework and campaigning for historic buildings and places of all ages and all types, we also work to promote and share our knowledge to influence and enlighten. Our annual volume of Transactions and members’ magazine, Heritage Now, provide detailed insights into the fields of architectural history and conservation. We also run an annual series of events, covering a wide range of topics.

All of our work is made possible by the valued support of our members, both in the UK and abroad. This allows us to continue to respond to the significant volume of casework we receive each year and to maintain our publications and events programme. Discover more details on how you can join our membership scheme to help us deliver our Mission.
