Torbay launches Heritage Strategy
Torbay is one of Europe’s finest coastal environments with a wealth of architectural and natural heritage features.
To conserve and enhance these assets for future generations, Torbay Development Agency (TDA) and Torbay Council have developed a Heritage Strategy following public consultation and expert research and advice.
The Heritage Strategy aims to find the best way of maintaining and developing Torbay’s heritage in a way that encourages economic, social and environmental regeneration, at the same time as restoring and enhancing important symbols of our local identity. These can be anything from buildings, parks and gardens to special events and local dialects.
The aims of the strategy are:
- To develop a strategy that will help maintain the local and community identity
- Be mindful and respectful of the things that make Torbay a special place
- Contribute to the quality of life for residents and the community
- Initiate heritage-led regeneration to maintain geographical and historical character
- Restore original and sentimental character to heritage assets
- Encourage the expansion of the tourist economy
The next phase will be the development of an action plan, when ideas will be sought by Torbay Council’s Spatial Planning Team to set priorities.
The final copy of the Heritage Strategy can be downloaded below. Alternatively there are limited hard copies available in the three Connections offices in Torquay, Paignton and Brixham and a copy in all reference libraries across the towns.
The evidence base for the Action Plan, which will be developed as a second phase to this project, can also be downloaded below.
