IHBC\u2019s latest Council received impressively positive feedback, but was very busy, so this NewsBlog post spotlights a paper easily missed in this part of our exploration of conservation services – in advance of a light-touch survey – all part of our <\/em>response to our Parliamentary \u20185 Commitments to Help Heritage Skills in Conservation<\/a>\u2026\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018At Council we had a very tight timetable.  While that feature was welcomed by many, it did mean we had to move rapidly.  So we\u2019re doing a suite of NewsBlog spotlights on some key resources from the day, where we can.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018As you know, IHBC\u2019s Council is a members only, live event, which helps the \u2018Chatham House<\/a>\u2019-styled discussions, so we can\u2019t make all public.  But of course, where we can do that, by agreement, we will.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this NewsBlog we\u2019re spotlighting the concise commentary and paper from Adam Dyer<\/a>, Conservation Team Manager, London Borough of Camden, on the \u2018London Councils on London Retrofit Heritage Homes Guide: \u2018Green upgrades for<\/em> London\u2019s heritage homes\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Including links to a press notice<\/a>, Adam\u2019s paper offers some personal context to a project that, as Adam writes, \u2018links to the London Councils Heritage Retrofit Work [that] pulled together Sustainability, Planning and Conservation Officers along with Etude, Levitt Bernstein and Prewett Bizley.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam also notes that \u2018The project was not perfect, and I had bigger ambitious for it, but time and a restricted budget prevented more external engagement.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also in the paper, as a key output of the work, is a link to \u2018How to assess retrofit measures\u2019, described by Adam as \u2018a document that went through a lot of scrutiny but has been found to be useful for Planners who are assessing applications in conservation areas where there aren’t enough Conservation Officers to provide advice to all small scale minor applications.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
