What opportunities are there for heritage-led regeneration?

Land use planning takes into account economic, social and environmental dimensions. How could your plan be used to conserve and enhance the quality of the historic environment to encourage tourism, help to create successful places for businesses to locate and/or attract inward investment?

What does heritage mean to your community?

The historic environment gives distinctiveness, meaning and quality to the places in which we live, providing a sense of continuity and a source of identity. Heritage provides people with a link to the past, a symbol of permanence and stability, a sense of belonging. It provides authenticity, distinctiveness and brings credibility to place ‘brands’.
