Heritage

Heritage is associated with history but it is not the same thing.


Definition of Heritage

Heritage is a personal perspective on the past so it is hard to find a general definition.

Saved Heritage

Conservation Area

Buildings of significant importance can be 'listed' which then puts legal requirements on the owners with regards to the structure and appearance of the building.

Section 61(12) defines sites that warrant protection due to their being of national importance as 'ancient monuments'.
