The IHBC’s Northern Ireland (NI) Branch is holding a half day seminar event to mark and shape the introduction of new local authorities with conservation roles, in an event titled ‘Back to the Future: Local Authority Management of the Historic Environment’ to be held at Clifton House, Belfast on 14 May and exploring wider perspectives on conservation management processes from across the UK and beyond.
Andrew McClelland Chair of IHBC’s NI Branch Committee said: ‘The reform of local government in Northern Ireland came to fruition on 1st April 2015, when 11 new councils acquired planning and other powers critical to the management of the historic environment.’
‘Our IHBC Branch is keen that the councils begin on a sure footing and the Back to the Future event on 14 May at Clifton House will, amongst other things, provide an opportunity to learn from local authority conservation officer colleagues in Wales and the Republic of Ireland.’
