World Heritage Site
What this layer shows
World Heritage Site: inscribed by UNESCO for outstanding universal value. There is no separate consent regime in England; protection works through planning policy, and the buffer zone and setting are usually where the argument happens.

Heritage
The Historic England registers: scheduled monuments, listed buildings, registered parks and gardens, registered battlefields, World Heritage Sites and protected wreck sites. Wood pasture, parkland and traditional orchards are included because they are as often a heritage asset as an ecological one, and a designed landscape usually explains both.
