Temporary Structures in Historic Places
Guidance for local planning authorities, site owners and event organisers
Events in historic places make a vital contribution to the economic sustainability of our heritage. They add to the enjoyment of countless visitors at a huge range of sites, from urban squares to open countryside, as well as generating an important source of income. However, the temporary structures needed to facilitate them are not appropriate in every location, and need to be carefully positioned and designed to avoid potentially disfiguring or damaging sites and landscapes of heritage importance. This guidance helps to show how this can be done, using examples of good practice and suggesting an approach to risk assessment and mitigation.
Please note, the content of this guidance is under review as it does not reflect changes to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 made subsequent to its publication.
