Twelve months pass so quickly and Donald Insall Associates continues to build on the legacy of our past, with its customary creative energy, passion and analytical vigour; we look forward to celebrating our 60th Anniversary in 2018. We work hard to maintain a continuity of approach, even in changing times, learning from our collective experience and particularly from our pioneering colleagues of the early days of our Practice. For me, researching the 50th anniversary of the Civic Amenities Act in 1967 has revealed just how young the conservation movement is and how central in debate, influence and philosophy was Donald Insall Associates. It is pleasing to look back on a year and reflect that the quality of our work continues to shine through and that we continue to grow and develop. The Insall name is now also established in the great cities of Birmingham and Manchester; a personal highlight has been to see our teams taking root in both wonderful places.

This comprehensive review of priorities reaffirms some basic principles and provides the opportunity for a change of focus, reflected in the 20 objectives reprinted here. It is not surprising that this attracted attention, but our task was made harder for some months by the misleading articles in the press. It is important that remaining misapprehensions, particularly among those active in conservation, are dispelled. We want to ensure that those on whom so much of the responsibility for the heritage rests – the local authorities and voluntary societies, as well as individual owners – are willing partners with us, understanding and supporting our approach. Many of the objectives are self-explanatory and have already been welcomed.
