    Collections Development Policy

    Collections Development Policy Harris Museum & Art Gallery Preston City Council Date approved: December 2016 Review date: By June 2018 The Harris collections development policy will be published and reviewed from time to time, currently every 12-18 months while the Re-Imagining the Harris project develops. Arts Council England will be notified of any changes to the collections development policy, and the implications of any such changes for the future of the Harris’ collections. 1. Relationship to other relevant policies/plans of the organisation: The Collections Development Policy should be read in the wider context of the Harris’ Documentation Policy and Documentation Plan, Collections Care and Conservation Policy, Access Policy Statement and the Harris Plan. 1.1. The Harris’ statement of purpose is: The Re-Imagining the Harris project builds on four key principles of creativity, democracy, animation and permeability to create an open, flexible and responsive cultural hub led by its communities and inspired by its collections. 1.2. Preston City Council will ensure that both acquisition and disposal are carried out openly and with transparency. 1.3. By definition, the Harris has a long-term purpose and holds collections in trust for the benefit of the public in relation to its stated objectives. Preston City Council therefore accepts the principle that sound curatorial reasons must be established before consideration is given to any acquisition to the collection, or the disposal of any items in the Harris’ collection. 1.4. Acquisitions outside the current stated policy will only be made in exceptional circumstances. 1.5. The Harris recognises its responsibility, when acquiring additions to its collections, to ensure that care of collections, documentation arrangements and use of collections will meet the requirements of the Museum Accreditation Standard.

    Trawden Forest Neighbourhood Plan (2018-2030)

    Trawden Forest Neighbourhood Plan (2018-2030) Final Version Trawden Forest Parish Council Autumn 2018 Foreword This Neighbourhood Plan sets out planning policies for the parish of Trawden Forest. It has been developed with the involvement of local people to ensure that they have a say in how their parish will develop up to 2030. It adds detail to the Pendle Local Plan and will be used alongside it to help determine planning applications in the parish. The Trawden Forest Neighbourhood Plan is the responsibility of Trawden Forest Parish Council and has been developed by a Steering Group consisting of Parish Council members and other volunteers, with professional advice from Pendle Council’s Planning Department. It has been supported by Pendle Borough Council and received financial support from the Government’s Neighbourhood Planning Grant Scheme. One of the main objectives of the Neighbourhood Plan is to direct the amount of housing to be built in Trawden up to 2030 – a figure established in the Pendle Local Plan – to the most appropriate and sustainable locations within the Parish. Where possible the sites selected will help to protect and enhance existing infrastructure assets and provide a positive benefit to residents. As you read through the Plan, you will see how this can be achieved. There is however, much more to a Neighbourhood Plan than housing development. In the questionnaire delivered to every household in September 2016 we asked local residents for their hopes, concerns and ideas for the parish, both now and in the future. From these responses we identified several areas of importance to local people.
