Valuation of the Historic Environment

The overall objective of this study is to consider the question, ‘What is the the scope for using results of economic valuation studies in the appraisal and assessment of heritage-related projects and programmes?’ In particular, this concerns two main contexts:

• The appraisal or assessment of projects, programmes, and policies within the heritage sector that aim to preserve, conserve or enhance the historic environment; and
• The appraisal of projects, programmes, and policies in other sectors (e.g. transport) which impact upon the historic environment.

The Annex to the main report provides an annotated bibliography of recent heritage valuation studies that accompanies the literature review in Section 4.
