Saving threatened buildings
How can the Victorian Society help me to save a threatened building?
We welcome information about threats to listed Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and will supply advice and comments on individual cases where it is appropriate for us to do so.
We need photographs of the building, an outline of the current situation and/or the nature of the threat. A map can also be helpful. Because of our limited resources we are unable to to take up every case we are sent.
Contact the appropriate Conservation Adviser. For details, see our Contact page.
Where can I go to kick-start my campaign?
You can start here by reading our campaign guide.
You will almost certainly need to familiarise yourself with PPG 15: Planning and the Historic Environment, the Government planning policy guidance note that is the 'bible' for all architectural conservationists.
A briefing sheet on PPG 15 can be downloaded from the website of The Institution of Civil Engineers, One Great George Street, Westminster, London SW1P 3AA. Tel: 44 (0)20 7222 7722. Fax: 44 (0)20 7222 7500.
