Heritage and Growth in Cathedral Cities: finding a better balance

 

The Trust is one of 13 civic societies located in historic cathedral cities which have contributed to a report analysing the impact of recent developments on their character, setting and heritage assets. The aim of the work is to show how their historic character can be maintained while also accommodating development. The work began in 2019 and the final report was published in 2022.The report is the result of a collaboration between the Alliance of Historic Cathedral Cities and Towns, the Historic Towns and Villages Forum and Allies and Morrison Urban Practitioners, with funding from Historic England.

 

The Trust has organised for the authors of the report to present their findings and recommendations to Trust members and other interested parties. We will be inviting representatives from Winchester City Council, in line with one of the recommendations that civic societies should work collaboratively with their local authorities in protecting heritage and fostering good design.

 

The meeting will take place at 5pm on 23rd February at St Peter's Pastoral Centre, Jewry Street, Winchester SO23 8RY. All are welcome. If you would like to attend please RSVP Tessa at:-
