- Conserve and enhance Hillingdon’s distinct and varied environment, its settings and the wider historic landscape, which includes:
- Historic village cores, Metro-land suburbs, planned residential estates and 19th and 20th century industrial areas, including the Grand Union Canal and its features;
- Designated heritage assets such as statutorily Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas and Scheduled Ancient Monuments;
- Registered Parks and Gardens and historic landscapes, both natural and designed;
- Locally recognised historic features, such as Areas of Special Local Character and Locally Listed Buildings; and
- Archaeologically significant areas, including Archaeological Priority Zones and Areas.
- Actively encourage the regeneration of heritage assets, particularly those which have been included in English Heritage’s ‘Heritage at Risk’ register or are currently vacant.
- Promote increased public awareness, understanding of and access to the borough’s heritage assets and wider historic environment, through Section 106 agreements and via community engagement and outreach activities.
- Encourage the reuse and modification of heritage assets, where appropriate, when considering proposals to mitigate or adapt to the effects of climate change. Where negative impact on a heritage asset is identified, seek alternative approaches to achieve similar climate change mitigation outcomes without damage to the asset.
