Conservation of the Historic Environment

Last updated: 6 October 2010

To ensure our historic monuments and buildings stay in good condition we have a range of initiatives in place to support their ongoing repair, maintenance and conservation. We do this through our Conservation Works Team, or by offering management agreements, grant-aid, or guidance to owners.

We also provide advice in response to consultation from other government departments, such as Planning ServiceOpens in new window. or Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD)Opens in new window., to ensure our built heritage is conserved to the best possible standard.
