\"\"<\/a>The IHBC has launched our joint \u2018Conservation Professional Practice Principles\u2019 at the 2017 Day School and AGM in Manchester, which offers a new, accessible statement on practice principles for specialists working in built and historic environment conservation roles.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

IHBC Chair James Caird said: \u2018I\u2019m delighted that we have produced this new joint statement on conservation practice, as it marks a whole new level of support for conservation by the IHBC.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Prepared collectively by the IHBC, the Historic Towns and Villages Forum and Civic Voice \u2013 the membership of which includes built environment professionals, developers, local civic and community organisations, local authorities, professional firms, and other heritage interests \u2013 it can serve as the critical cross-sector statement on the interdisciplinary practice of built and historic environment conservation today.\u2019<\/p>\n

Dave Chetwyn, past IHBC Chair, and now IHBC Communications Secretary, led in the drafting of the \u2018Principles\u2019<\/em>, and said: \u2018Working with historic places and buildings involves a diverse and complex range of specialist skills, across different professional disciplines. \u00a0It is essential to employ professional teams from the necessary disciplines, with historic and built environment expertise.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018As the \u2018Principles\u2019 <\/em>statement recognises international, national and devolved UK legislation, policy and statements, and how they operate in the real world, it puts practice standards at the heart of how we deliver successful conservation outcomes\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Practice Principles<\/em> state:<\/p>\n

\u2018Conservation professional practice is challenging, as demonstrated by the many considerations set out in this guide. This requires not just depth of knowledge, but also breadth, due to the wide scope of decision-making. Good conservation practice is not about viewing heritage and cultural values in isolation, but considering these as an integral part of planning, place-making and helping places and buildings to adapt to modern needs. This integrated approach is at the heart of specialist, professional practice.\u2019<\/p>\n
