What type of ‘Green Heritage’ is Eligible?
Your site does not have to be on English Heritage’s Register. Your application will be judged on the treatment of the site’s historic features and the standard of conservation within it. For instance:
- Did a landscape designer create the original design for your site?
- Is this original design appreciated and enhanced in the way the site is now managed?
- Have you re-instated any plants or features that were removed?
- Have you adapted the original design to meet today’s needs? If so, why and how?
- Are there any historic features in the site, such as ornate railings, a war memorial, a fountain, a bandstand, topiary, specimen trees, a palm house perhaps, or listed buildings? How do you care for these features? Are they explained to visitors through signs or other information?
- When planning or choosing new features or facilities for your site, how do you ensure that they enhance its historic landscape or design, rather than detract from it?
- Have you ever sought the advice of a professional landscape designer or historian, or an architect, when making changes to your site or the features within it?
