CBA was commissioned to develop a long term strategy for conservation and enjoyment of the Borough's historic assets. The strategy provides a framework for encouraging greater awareness and deeper appreciation of the character, significance and condition of the Borough's historic assets. It is being used to inform approaches to the protection of the Borough's historic environment from inappropriate change, and highlights the social and economic regeneration benefits of the Borough's heritage assets. The strategy has a strong focus on local community/stakeholder engagement, and seeks to encourage sustainable uses of the Borough's historic environment assets for public benefit in a contemporary context.
