Heritage Action Zones are a Historic England initiative. The scheme was a commitment in the Culture White Paper and has run since 2017, with ten Heritage Action Zones designated to date. These are in Appleby, Coventry, Elsecar, Hull, King's Lynn, Nottingham, Ramsgate, Sunderland, Sutton and Weston-super-Mare. A further eight Heritage Action Zones are in development now.

The Heritage Action Zones scheme aims to unleash the power in England's historic environment to create economic growth and improve quality of life in villages, towns and cities.
