Historic England Reveals 17 Historic Sites Across England With Significant Development Potential
Underused historic buildings across England could be given new life through a major investment initiative launched by Historic England.
The Heritage Investment Prospectus, unveiled at the UK Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) on 21 May, showcases historic sites where owners are actively seeking investment partners or buyers.
The initiative aligns with the Government's Plan for Change, supporting economic growth by helping developers identify pre-vetted heritage sites with significant development potential.
This prospectus represents our commitment to work proactively with property industry partners to deliver transformational projects that protect our heritage while creating lasting value for investors and communities. Our historic buildings are better conserved when they're in use rather than standing empty.
Some featured properties already have planning permission granted or agreed development briefs, reducing planning risks for potential investors looking to create homes, workspaces or mixed-use developments. For all of the sites featured, Historic England regional teams are ready to work with new investors to bring forward sustainable regeneration.
Historic England has selected 17 sites across England with potential for development ranging from the former Royal Bank of Scotland in Plymouth to the Bishop Auckland Co-op in County Durham. Development opportunities include former textile mills and military sites, as well as historic public and commercial buildings.
