\"\"Targeted cuts in VAT on listed building refurbishments and a presumption against demolition of existing properties are among recommendations in a UK-wide All-Party Parliamentary Group\u2019s (APPG) first report, on \u2018The Value of Heritage<\/em><\/a>\u2019, supported by the IHBC, launched in Westminster on 1 December, and another major event in the IHBC\u2019s 25th anniversary year: #IHBC25<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"Responding to the publication of the \u2018The Value of Heritage\u2019 report, IHBC Chair David McDonald \u2013 who led the welcome of the recommendations at yesterday\u2019s launch \u2013 said: \u2018I am delighted to welcome this report from the APPG’s first Inquiry, into \u2018The Value of Heritage<\/em>, and would like to congratulate the APPG\u2019s Chair James Grundy MP<\/a> on leading the Inquiry and, yesterday, its formal launch in the House of Commons\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018The published report brings together evidence presented to the inquiry to demonstrate the economic, environmental and social value that heritage delivers.\u2019<\/p>\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly, said: \u2018We\u2019re delighted that the publication has been co-funded though the IHBC\u2019s CREATIVE Conservation Fund<\/a> and the IHBC\u2019s 25th<\/sup> anniversary initiative #<\/u>IHBC25<\/a>.\u00a0 To further mark that advocacy, anniversary and association, we\u2019ll also \u2013 and exceptionally – be including hard-copies of the report with the next, IHBC25, issue of Context<\/em><\/a>!\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2018Obviously too, to get full value from that, please be sure to pass your copy to your non-IHBC colleagues so they too can better appreciate just what the sector sees as \u2018<\/u>The Value of Heritage<\/em><\/a>\u2019.<\/u><\/p>\n

David Blackman, the IHBC\u2019s consulting Secretariat to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Conservation, Places and People (CPPAPPG<\/a>), writes:\u00a0 \u2018This is the result of a year plus long inquiry by the APPG, under its chair, James Grundy MP, supported by the IHBC.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The inquiry found that businesses, particularly those in the creative sectors, are often drawn to the distinctive character of historic buildings and neighbourhoods. They are also attracted by the cheap rents and flexible floorspaces offered by heritage buildings, like historic factories and warehouses.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The new uses businesses have found for redundant, historic factories and offices have often spurred the regeneration of peripheral former commercial and industrial, inner-city areas, like in Liverpool\u2019s Baltic Triangle.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Supporting efforts to refurbish historic buildings would also provide a valuable fillip at a time of grave uncertainty in the construction industry, for the smaller firms that tend to do this kind of work, the report found.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The inquiry took evidence on how encouraging the reuse and retrofit of heritage will help to avoid the release of the embodied carbon tied up in the materials that make up existing buildings.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018In addition, the APPG heard extensive evidence about how heritage can help to provide the glue, which can help to foster local identity in communities.\u2019<\/p>\n
