Annual Review 2007 – 2009
Annual Review 2009 – 2010 At the heart of a vibrant cultural city region, Museums Sheffield will inspire you to discover, enjoy and learn, to connect with your environment and to engage creatively with the world. Achievements & Challenges 2009-10 saw some remarkable achievements by Museums Sheffield against a challenging backdrop of economic austerity. In tough times for the cultural sector at large, we have worked hard to consolidate our partnerships and deliver the best possible cultural offer to the city. The year began with a party as the Graves Gallery and Central Library teamed up to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the building. Alongside a programme of exhibitions and events which highlighted the history of the much-loved institution, a period dress birthday party proved to be the social event of the spring. The Graves Gallery has never looked better, however despite the DCMS Wolfson refurbishment programme, the building itself remains in need of fundamental upgrading if its future is to be secured. Happy 75th Birthday to the Graves Gallery and Central Weston Park continued to exceed its visitor targets Library as the The Big Bug Show exhibition proved that creativity can triumph over reduced budgets by drawing the highest daily average of visitors of any temporary exhibition at the museum to date. In Febuary 2010 Leader of the Council, Paul Scrivens, was invited to welcome the museum’s millionth visitor since re-opening in 2006. 2009 saw Museums Sheffield welcome a new Chair, Sandra Newton, who joined the Trust after the tragic loss of Bob Boucher earlier in the year. -

Portman Estate Conservation Area Audit
PORTMAN 8 CONSERVATION AREA AUDIT AREA CONSERVATION ESTATE Document Title: Portman Estate Conservation Area Audit Document Status: Adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance Date: 27 March 2003 Document Id No.: 1127 Department of Planning and City Development, Development Planning Services, City Hall, 64 Victoria Street London SW1E 6Q www.westminster.gov.uk PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There area now 53 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents. This enhanced process involves the review of original designation procedures and boundaries; analysis of historical development; identification of all listed buildings and those unlisted buildings making a positive contribution to an area; and the identification and description of key townscape features, including street patterns, trees, open spaces and building types. Given the number and complexity of Westminster’s conservation areas the appraisal process has been broken down into three stages, the first of which is complete. -
