Guest Article

Historic Houses Association publishes Inspirational Places

The Historic Houses Association, which represents 1,500 historic houses and gardens through the UK, of which a third are open to the public, has published its policy document "Inspirational Places: The value of Britain’s historic houses".

Historic houses are a force for good in Britain, playing a powerful role in stimulating economic growth, supporting local communities and making an essential contribution towards sustainable development. However, many face challenges which erode the role they play in the life of the nation. Inspirational Places proposes a suite of solutions, many of which can be implemented at little or no cost. The HHA seeks support not only to promote cost-effective maintenance, but also to further national aims in tourism, employment, rural development, education, health and social policy.

Public investment in the historic environment is an efficient method of stimulating local economies. Quality of environment is one of the key factors in promoting inward investment and the historic environment plays an important role in creating places where people want to live, work and visit. The HHA continues to press for a reduction in the rate of VAT for repair work to conserve our historic environment and to encourage the renovation and re-use of existing buildings.
