SESSION 3: RISKS, THREATS, AND MONITORING
The role of aerial survey in supporting Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Programme by Matthew Oakey

Historic England’s Heritage at Risk (HAR) Programme works with owners, friends groups, developers and other stakeholders to find solutions for ‘at risk’ historic places and sites across England. An important output of the programme is the Heritage at Risk Register – a dynamic picture of the sites most at risk and most in need of safeguarding for the future. Its scope covers a wide range of heritage asset types encompassing archaeology, designed landscapes, battlefields and built heritage.
As an official statistic, produced on behalf of the UK government, a robust evidence base is important. A recent review of the HAR programme identified a number of opportunities to more effectively use airborne remote sensing data to contribute to HAR monitoring. This builds on a history of site monitoring through Historic England’s flying programme. A number of pilot projects are currently in development which will explore how new aerial reconnaissance and analysis of existing imagery could be more effectively integrated into the HAR methodology.
This paper will assess the potential for aerial photography and LiDAR to inform HAR risk assessments. It will explore how better targeting of reconnaissance photography, analysis of historical and current imagery, and improved information flowlines can enhance HAR data and lead to an improved evidence base and better heritage management outcomes.
