English Heritage and Commercial Partners

You may have seen a recent newspaper article suggesting that our licensing arrangements are in conflict with our advisory role.  Any suggestion that financial gain from this commercial activity influences our advice on listed building consent applications is utterly baseless and absolutely wrong.  We take these accusations very seriously and are considering our legal position.

We would like to reassure customers that the products we licence are of good quality and that English Heritage’s advice on the historic environment is always expert, objective and free from influence.
