Support for those planning retrofit on historic or heritage homes

Introduction

If you are a local authority or social housing provider with a number of heritage homes that you would like to carry out retrofit measures on, RISE has produced a comprehensive support package to help.

The RISE Heritage Planning toolkit

This toolkit sets out the primary legislation relevant to heritage planning and suggests where planning or listed building consent may be needed. Understanding this context should help you develop applications for consent, which is then considered. The toolkit should be read alongside the RISE planning constraints article, as this contains important information about using the local planning documents relevant to your area.

The RISE Heritage Statement quick guide

This quick guide has been prepared to guide local authorities and registered providers of social housing in the process of writing a heritage statement. The guide can be used as a standalone document for prospective applicants or agents, providing an introductory understanding of key terms related to heritage significance and statements. It also acts as a supplementary document for the toolkit titled ‘Writing Heritage Statements’ on the RISE website.
