PDF 88 KBThe Conservation Strategy provides guidance on the management of Tower Hamlets’ heritage for a period of five to ten years. The current strategy was adopted in 2010 and is aligned with the current Local Plan. A new Local Plan is currently being developed and an updated Conservation Strategy has been prepared to support it. The updated strategy was developed with key stakeholders and was the subject of public consultation alongside the emerging Local Plan. No adverse comments were received during the consultation and the updated strategy has received the support of Historic England.

Consultation process
The baseline information in the strategy was discussed together with the vision and strategy goals at a workshop attended by key stakeholders including representatives of Historic England, the Statutory Amenity Societies and the Tower Hamlet History Library and Archives.
Following this the draft updated Conservation Strategy was then published as part of the evidence base supporting the new Local Plan regulation 18 consultation between 11th November 2016 and 2nd January 2017. No adverse comments were received as a result of this.
Has an Equality Analysis been carried out and if so the result of this Assessment?: There is no intention to monitor the proposals against protected characteristics this is a strategy for the management of the historic environment and is entirely dependent upon the character of these resources rather than the communities who live within the Borough.
