Can you help?
Are you aware of any good examples of Conservation Area Appraisals and Management plans, or guidance on producing them, that you can recommend?
We have had a request from a local authority who are considering updating their appraisals, with the addition of management plans, and are inviting suggestions for case studies and/or best practice guidance.
If you can help, please send your suggestions to Angharad Hart, at training@ihbc.org.uk.

NOTE:
- IHBC CPD Circular listings cannot aim to be comprehensive. They are a selective and indicative collation from the IHBC’s own Events Calendar and other IHBC network resources. Listing is determined by the IHBC’s own judgement of CPD priorities for our members, as well as IHBC resources available to manage and prioritise the selection.
- Listing in the IHBC CPD Circular does not offer any guarantees on the services cited, and users should ALWAYS check details direct with the provider, either using our Events Calendar or, where relevant, with the ‘IHBC Recognised CPD Providers’ webpage.
- Prospective value of a listing to a member’s own CPD priorities is, in the first instance, always a matter for the individual member.
- If you have feedback on a particular item or Provider, please use the feedback form.
- The IHBC NewsBlog and IHBC Jobs etc digital alerts are circulated separately, provided you have subscribed to these services. If you would like to sign up to either service please follow these links.
