Report overview

The ‘Unlocking Heritage for Housing’ report explores the role that historic buildings can play in meeting the UK’s housing needs while conserving the nation’s built heritage.

Through the sensitive conversion and regeneration of listed buildings and heritage assets, P J Livesey demonstrates how sustainable development can be achieved in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

By bringing underutilised historic sites back into active use, we deliver high quality homes, support local communities and secure the long term future of important heritage assets for generations to come.
