The following three case studies were carried out in response to the ODPM’s Sustainable Development reports targeting the South East for circa 1 million new homes in the next 25-30 years. English Heritage sought to develop a series of proactive responses, guiding and informing appropriate development based on modelling ‘historic character’ rather than issuing a series of the more traditional heritage constraints in such scenarios. The London-Cambridge-Stansted Study sought to define a strategic analysis based on sensitivity to inform the process of development. Whereas the Milton Keynes and Thames gateway studies already had pre-defined zones for development and sought to develop integrated historic environment modelling to inform and guide future development in these areas. (Further details of all of the projects are available on the, see details below).

__London-Stansted-Cambridge – M11__ (Went et al 2003): The LSC- M11 work highlighted the problems in taking two radically different HER’s (one monument based, the other event based) in adjacent counties and incorporating them into two county-based HLC’s using the same methodology (see figure 55). The results confirmed that a certain screening or filtering of the HER data was required (which was unfortunately outwith the remit of the project, but is currently being progressed).

Milton Keynes South Midlands (Green and Kidd 2004) :The MKSM work took a different approach, using comparative analysis of HLC and HER with other data to inform 15 'Historic Landscape Zones'. These zones were then used in defining criteria for location assessment for potential growth.

__Thames-Gateway__, (Blandford and Associates and EH, 2004): This study developed an integrated historic environment approach. Thames Gateway used the datasets to create three themes or heritage management layers:
*Historic Landscape - HLC
*Urban Areas – primarily Listed Buildings
*Archaeology – HER data
The project separated the major forms of heritage data into comparable suites of information as they could not be incorporated satisfactorily into a single integrated suite of data. These three ranges of data were used to inform a final layer of 'Historic Environment Characterisation', with 140 character areas.
!!E.5.9 Future Developments
The future of HLC relies on wide ranging use and lateral application, not only within the heritage sector but within many other disciplines. HLC is capable of various enhancement projects, looking into either fine grained detailed studies of field types or parish studies involving earlier sources, for example tithe and enclosure or estate maps. An overarching HLC synthesis producing a national HLC generic map of landscape history and development is surely an end objective, which would complement the maps produced by the Countryside Agency.
