Conserving & Enhancing Historic Designed Landscapes through the Planning System

Oxford
18-19 April 2013

Oxford University, Dept of Continuing Education

The new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. The NPPF and the planning system are therefore important tools in conserving and enhancing our designed landscape heritage, and the NPPF introduces an important step change. Registered parks and gardens have now been given the same planning policy status as listed buildings and scheduled monuments. This course looks at impacts of developments on the significance of historic designed landscapes and how to define substantial harm. The course will also discuss English Heritage’s conservation principles for historic parks and gardens. The course will be open to all, but will be of particular interest to conservation officers and others engaged in garden and landscape conservation, including property managers.
