LAF CPD Club - Heritage & Conservation with Liverpool City Council

Join us for an informative Heritage & Conservation focused CPD from Liverpool City Council.

July's CPD Club will provide an introduction into the working life of a council conservation officer. James F Simmins, Principal Heritage Officer at Liverpool City Council has been in his role for over 5 years and is responsible for the ongoing management of the historic environment within Liverpool city centre. During the presentation, James will provide a brief summary of where conservation officers sit within LCC planning structure, the law/policy behind protecting the historic environment, the typical workload of a conservation officer and more.

With the use of recent Liverpool case studies, James will provide some heritage Do’s & Do Not’s when proposing a sympathetic conversion scheme and try to address some of the areas were planning application submissions usually fall short. There is also plenty of opportunity to asks questions and better understand how to build a positive working relationship with conservation officers.
