Conservation area appraisals: A vital puzzle piece
Published on December 13, 2023
Across the country, we have many historic and culturally significant sites, and the buildings and their settings at these sites represent an intrinsic part of our heritage. In the face of a changing climate and an increasingly pressured economic environment, protecting and preserving our national built heritage is ever more important.
Writing for PBC Today, Sebastian West, Principal Landscape Manager at Stephenson Halliday, explores how conservation area appraisals are a vital piece of the puzzle in ensuring appropriate and effective preservation and enhancement. Taking the example of Brunswick Town in Brighton, a project conducted in partnership with Headland Archaeology, what are the challenges and opportunities, and how do we approach these in the context of climate change? Sebastian’s thoughts are available to read in full online.
The Sustainability Committee from @pensarinfrastructure recently planted 60 saplings of varying native species including a selection of eucalyptus.
We look forward to seeing how this project progresses!
Keep up the brilliant work Pensar. 👏
