RTPI South West welcomes to you their CPD Seminar series for 2024. This is a HYBRID Seminar so you may opt to attend in-person or virtually. We hope this enables the event to be as inclusive as possible.
Why do we conserve historic buildings and places? What is their value to wider society, particularly in the context of climate change? With this seminar in conjunction with IHBC South West we explore keeping the past alive and reusing historic buildings with sympathetic design. Join our expert speakers and the heritage specialists with their practical advice on topics including: how we take account of ‘significance’ in the decision making process, and adapting historic buildings to combat climate change.
