Information:
The draft Heritage Strategy was the result of a significant review of heritage in the Torbay. It was conducted by lead consultant Katherine Findlay at Heritage Arts & People, on behalf of Torbay Council, with advice and support from Council officers, TDA and Torbay Culture. The process continued over several months involving local residents, partner organisation, Councillors, officers and services.
The purpose of the Strategy was to clarify Torbay Council’s approach to heritage, and to enable the Council to confirm and develop plans for specific locations. The new document set out statutory requirements (e.g. Listed Buildings, Conservation Area Appraisals, Scheduled Ancient Monuments and non-designated heritage assets). The aim would also be to ensure accessibility to a wide readership. The report sought approval to commence formal consultation on the draft Strategy.
Councillor Morey proposed and Councillor Stockman seconded a motion that was agreed unanimously by the Cabinet as set out above.
