27th June 2019, 10.30am-4.00pm
A Historic Landscape Project Training Day, with Yorkshire Gardens Trust – The Woodshed, The Workhouse Museum, Sharow View, Allhallowgate, Ripon, Yorkshire, HG4 1LE
Despite their popularity, the historic parks and gardens that we love are easily lost, as they are vulnerable to decay, development, and a lack of understanding. The Gardens Trust [Alliance member] is a statutory consultee in the planning system and every year receives some 1500 planning applications that may affect historic parks and gardens, and this figure is expected to rise. To fulfil this demanding role, the GT relies on the volunteer manpower and localised knowledge of the County Gardens Trusts to make comments on the planning applications in their areas.
This day will give you the skills needed to assess the impact of a proposed development or change on a historic park or garden, to develop a recommendation to the local planning authority, and to frame this in an authoritative and persuasive planning comment letter.
This training day is free of charge, including lunch and a site visit.
