Buildings

The task of assessing condition and risk started with buildings. Following a survey of all grades of listed buildings in London, English Heritage published in 1991 the first annual register of those at risk there.

The success of this London work led to the national buildings at risk strategy in 1998, and publication of a register of buildings at risk covering all grade I and II* listed buildings and structural scheduled monuments in the country, at risk and vulnerable.

These two registers are now combined, together with a log of additional categories of endangered built heritage, in English Heritage's increasingly comprehensive Heritage at Risk register. 

The register includes (now amid the recently added other 'heritage asset type' entries) grade I and II* listed buildings and structural scheduled monuments (structures rather than earthworks and buried sites), known to English Heritage to be at risk through neglect and decay, or vulnerable to becoming so.
