CSE & Historic England..Autumn 2015….?
Advice for local authorities and householders
Forthcoming publication(s)…
Bridging the gap…
• Structure of final publication likely to be split up
• Unlikely to be an Historic England publication in its entirety
• Development of training
course for energy advisors
• Development of ‘workbook’
for householders
