Our history and heritage resource is an irreplaceable legacy, one that we are immensely proud of and that we are strongly committed to. At the same time, we are also committed to ensuring the on-going success and vitality of our borough, and recognise the important role that heritage can play in its sustainable development – by providing the foundation for the borough’s distinctive character and sense of place, and by contributing to social and economic development, the climate change agenda and quality of life. The original Conservation Strategy developed in 2010 was the first of its type in London, and the first to take an integrated view across all aspects of the heritage resource.
