conservation plans

When changes are being contemplated to a listed building, conservation plans are often required to provide a concise overview of a building’s historic development, its various components and its setting and also to provide an assessment of its significance and heritage merit. Conservation plans can also set out a policy framework to manage the changes necessary to afford a long term economic future for the building whilst protecting its special interest and qualities and its setting. TRIGPOINT Conservation & Planning has the necessary professional expertise and knowledge to be able to research the historic development of a building and identify features of significance in order to bring forward a considered management plan to address the issues arising from the continued use and development of the building.

conservation plans - case study

		Nottingham Railway Station – Grade II* Listed A conservation plan was prepared for Nottingham City Council in advance of proposals to develop a major transport interchange in and around the station. The station was built in 1904 and is now a unique example of a relatively complete Edwardian railway station, which is reflected in its Grade II* listing. Using primary and secondary sources the conservation plan provides an understanding of the station and its historic development and proposes a policy framework designed to minimise the impact of future development on this historic building. A gazetteer was also compiled providing a detailed analysis of all the rooms and spaces within the station, identifying their original functions, recording historic architectural features and assessing their overall significance.
