Historic Building Recording, otherwise referred to as Archaeological Building Recording involves producing a record of an historic building or structure prior to development or alteration. The level of recording required usually depends on the significance of the structure, as well as the proposed scheme, with the levels required based upon Historic England’s Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Recording Practice (link here).

Building recording is usually undertaken as a pre-commencement Condition within a planning application, or as part of Listed Building consent. Under the National Planning Policy Framework, structures deemed as non-designated heritage assets (sites of historic or archaeological significance that have been identified, but do not meet the criteria for designation, eg being Listed) as well as Listed structures will usually require an element of recording.

Vindomora Solutions Ltd offer a full historic building recording service, from simple photography to historic record analysis and full metric survey/mapping, in line with Historic England’s designated Level 1-4 surveys.

Its amazing what can be found in modern clearance cairns (piles of stone cleared from the local area by farmers/landowners). In this one was this lovely likely Neolithic/Bronze Age cup-marked stone (unrecorded in the area), as well as the remnant of a stone marked as 'standing stone' in the Historic Environment Record...

The Long Stone on Longstone Hill, Northumberland. The 1866 mapping shows the stone, but it does not appear in the Northumberland County Council Historic Environment Record for the area. The stone lies north of a Bronze Age funerary cairn field (Scheduled).
