Frequently Asked Questions

  • Should we include large, ‘historic’ private gardens? – this is a judgement out in the ‘field’.  Does the garden add, or detract from the look and feel of the area it is in?  Is it part of the ‘landscape’ for a variety of people, houses, walkers, cars?  Could you imagine that someone may want to build an estate of houses on it?   If the garden is of ‘significance’ in these ways, then include it in the survey.   If the garden is mostly enclosed, not particularly part of any public realm, or featureless, then do not include it.
  • Do we include car parks? – yes, the ones that are significant in the public realm, in the same way as the gardens above.
