Historic Landscape Appraisals

There are almost 1600 parks and gardens in England on the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens of Historic Significance. There are also many more unregistered sites of considerable interest. A conservation management plan is an essential tool in assessing a way forward for a historic landscape, alternatively a helpful exercise is to carry out an appraisal before committing to an extensive management plan. This latter will identify the likely extent of archival information, the importance of the features on the ground and inform advice on a way forward including likely costs.
