Venue: Prendergast Hilly Fields College

Brockley Conservation Area was designated in 1974 under the Civic Amenities Act 1967 which first made provision for Conservation Areas. We are proud to celebrate the Act’s 50th anniversary with a one-day conference entitled ‘Innovation and Conservation’.

The event is free, aimed at local residents, and hopes to increase awareness and understanding of how to protect and enhance conservation areas through good design: both protecting what we have and creating innovative solutions, where opportunities arise. The conference will discuss the relevance of conservation areas today and show exemplar schemes; look at feasibility and design potential and discuss how to make them happen; and look at the legacy of conservation.
