The IHBC and Historic Towns Forum seek your views on conservation practice today, and how it fits in with wider planning, place-making and management of the built environment throughout the UK, with a survey questionnaire to help capture thoughts, opinions and profiles from across the spectrum of conservation and heritage practitioners and interests, all with a closing date of Friday 19 February’.
David Kincaid, IHBC’s Policy Secretary and chair of its Policy Committee, said: ‘Do please take time to complete the survey, as it aims to establish current views about conservation in practice in the UK.’
‘With the NPPF and changes in national policy regarding heritage assets, significance and setting in England, and changes often of comparable scale across each of our National Branches, it is all the more important that your institute identifies the issues that matter in the ‘real’ world.’
‘Gathering this evidence this will help us respond to practitioners’ concerns, including with future training events, research notes and strategic career and CPD support as well as wider advocacy. The survey also asks your views on area conservation and the role that heritage/conservation plays in creating place.’
Dave Chetwyn, Chair of the HTF and past Chair of IHBC, said: ‘The survey questionnaire has been customised to get feedback from practitioners that can be used to inform future guidance and resources, whether by individual organisations, in partnership or across the wider sector’.
‘The closing date for comments is Friday 19th February and the results of the survey will be published after this date.’
