8.2c How can/ does the heritage protection system incentivise building use/ re-use?
Background
Our nation’s heritage is irreplaceable and a vital tool for economic growth, creating diverse jobs, specialist skills, and fostering real pride in place. We want to protect and enhance the best of our heritage to meet modern needs, keeping it alive through re-use and regeneration, providing communities with the infrastructure they need, and empowering them to take on the heritage assets they cherish. DCMS needs to better understand how these goals can be achieved most effectively, whilst considering local, financial and environmental impacts of the sector and interventions.
