During my time with the AHF I have been very ably supported by our Chief Executive, Ian Lush, and his excellent staff team for which I convey my sincere thanks. I have thoroughly enjoyed my association with the AHF, finding it both stimulating and challenging and have been particularly struck by the remarkable commitment shown by so many of our clients. The projects we support are often in areas of considerable deprivation and disadvantage, and yet people come together as a group to save buildings and find viable new uses for them despite the many difficulties they face. The AHF is facing its own challenges; the demand for our loans is increasing both in quantity and size, but at the same time more of our existing borrowers are struggling to repay in full and on time. We are managing this situation carefully Two long-serving members of the Council and also working closely to find longer- of Management retired this year: George term solutions with our very supportive McNeill, a stalwart of the Scottish historic funders – English Heritage, Cadw, environment movement whose passion and Historic Scotland, the Northern Ireland strongly-held views were of great value to Environment Agency, the Andrew Lloyd the AHF, and Colin Amery, whose erudition Webber Foundation, the J Paul Getty Jr and knowledge were equally helpful.

It has been an honour to serve the AHF as its Chairman, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Trustees for their support during this time. I will look forward to continuing to observe from afar as the organisation continues its vital work supporting heritage-led regeneration projects throughout the UK.

Terry showed me his business card and the statement on the back of it, which is now the motto for the whole of NIEA: ‘To create prosperity and well-being through environment and heritage excellence’.

These were to the Inner City Trust for 31–33 Shipquay Street; and to Culturlann (the Irish Language … I am struck in particular by how quickly things can change in our work.

In Scotland we continue to manage the buildings at risk initiative on behalf of Historic Scotland, run by Stuart Eydmann, and are looking forward to the final results of his work over the next few months. Similarly in Wales we have taken an active part in the discussions prompted by the advent of the new heritage bill and possible new infrastructure arrangements within the sector, and are equally engaged with the debates around the potential new 3 THIS PAGE (clockwise from top): What led to this dramatic change? Firstly, We have also changed the way in which Ingestre Hall Orangery (see p.40) we broadened our criteria from April 2013 we support clients in the earliest stages of Castle House (see p.36) to allow any not-for-profit organisation to their work. For some time we had felt that Belfast Corporation Baths (see p.47) apply, rather than just charities and similar the Options Appraisal scheme was not OPPOSITE (clockwise from top): bodies. This has already allowed us to necessarily serving our purposes as St John’s Church (see p.18) The Charterhouse (see p.39) invest in some interesting projects which effectively as it might, and following Russell Institute (see p.51) would not have been eligible previously. discussions with our Board and a number We are also seeing the impact of the of regular clients, as well as with the UK Community Right to Bid initiative, which Association of Preservation Trusts, we enabled local people to prevent the Ivy replaced the Options Appraisal Grant with House pub in South East London from being a Project Viability Grant.

We are working closely to find solutions in each case in order to unlock more support for new projects as they come in. 4 The Heritage Lottery Fund has also launched new schemes, and we were delighted to work closely with them on the development of the ‘Heritage Enterprise’ grants. I was pleased to speak at the launch of Heritage Enterprise at the House of Commons in April, alongside HLF Chair Dame Jenny Abramsky and Nick Boles MP, Minister for Planning in the DCLG, and we are also collaborating with the HLF on the guidance for potential applicants for our Project Viability Grants and the HLF’s Start Up Grants, which cover similar ground. We were also very pleased this year to be able to extend our Cold Spots Grant scheme, which is intended to boost activity in the East Midlands, for projects involving industrial heritage in England, and now for schemes anywhere in Wales (having previously just focused on South Wales). This extension of the scheme is thanks to a further two years of funding from the J Paul Getty Jr Charitable Trust and the Pilgrim Trust, and we are very grateful to both for this continued support. Our Chairman, John Townsend, covers the recent retirements from our Council of Management in his Foreword, but I would like to add my own thanks to John and the rest of the Council for their hard work on behalf of the AHF this year, and in particular to all my colleagues, who continue to show their commitment and enthusiasm for our work in an exemplary manner. By the time this Annual Review is published we will have moved offices and launched our new website, and our Office Manager, Diane Kendal, deserves special mention for master-minding all three – the publication of the Review, the office move and the website.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Summary The Lincolnshire Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) established a policy of ‘hold the existing defence line’ for the Lincshore coastline. As part of the Lincshore Coastal Defences Strategy (covering Donna Nook to Skegness) we are proposing to implement the SMP. To deliver the strategy, beach nourishment material will continue to be placed annually along the coastline between Mablethorpe and Ingoldmells. A performance review of the beach nourishment project has been undertaken, in preference to a full strategy review, which supports the Lincshore project, enabling a 0.5% annual probability of flooding (1 in 200 year return period) standard of protection along the frontage over a period of 100 years.
