Knowsley has over 100 listed buildings, 15 conservation areas and two registered historic parks or gardens. Alongside these ‘designated heritage assets’ are numerous non designated historic buildings, features, or sites.
A conservation area is an area of special architectural or historic interest, and the local council is responsible for identifying, designating and reviewing these areas. Find out more about Knowsley’s conservation areas and planning requirements here.
Prescot High Street Heritage Action Zone and Prescot Townscape Heritage Initiative projects provide grants for restoring historic buildings and spaces in Prescot town centre. Find out more about sources of funding here.
Heritage Statements are required to be submitted alongside any planning applications that affect any heritage asset. Find out what should be included in a heritage statement here.
