Analysis and recording for the conservation and control of works to historic buildings

Understanding a historic building is the first step towards decisions about management, repair and alteration. By identifying architectural, historic and archaeological interest, the analysis of fabric and structure contributes to successful conservation, which carefully balances the significance of the building, the owner's requirements and appropriate techniques. This document focuses upon requirements for the 'control of works', when local government becomes formally involved with proposals for development. At this stage conservation officers have to consider whether an application contains sufficient information to be determined, and guidance is needed in what local authorities ought to expect and how it can be obtained.
