Read what the Councils<\/a> say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conservation Drop-in<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come and meet the conservation officers to discuss any queries you may have involving your listed building or building in a conservation area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst Eastbourne is a no booking drop-in event, bookings are required for Lewes. Please see booking info after the dates below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we feel that the questions asked would benefit from more in-depth advice, we will direct you to our pre-application service where we can discuss complex proposals in more depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All advice given at the drop ins will be verbal. There will be no written follow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For both authorities each session will be restricted to between 10 and 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018At our last Council we had a very tight timetable.  While that brevity was welcomed by our many and busy delegates, it did mean we had to move rapidly.  So we\u2019re doing a suite of NewsBlog \u2018spotlights\u2019 on some key resources and plans from the session.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018As you know, IHBC\u2019s Council is a members-only, live event, to enable the \u2018Chatham House<\/a>\u2019-styled discussions, so we can\u2019t make all public.  But of course, where we can, by agreement, we will, and this post features a very special film!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re spotlighting the conversation between IHBC\u2019s Treasurer and architect Joanna Saady<\/a> and Senior Conservation Officer Chris Connelley on ‘Conservation in conversations: ‘Before the pre-App – an alternative approach in<\/em> regulation’, <\/em>in a file recorded by architect Babatunde Ibrahaim<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jo Saady said: \u2018The main thrust is to show our man talking about a conservation drop in that really helps owners of Listed Building and actually speeds the process up to get an informed response.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
