Introduction to BHEF PDF 104 KB Eliza Alqassar and Paul Rhymes to give an outline on the role of BHEF for the benefit of new members. Minutes: Mrs E Alqassar, Historic & Built Environment Manager, Buckinghamshire Council, gave an overview of the history of the forum and welcomed ideas for themes/talks going forward.
It was noted the written reports circulated with the agenda were less substantial than in the past. It was confirmed that an email and a reminder had been circulated to all partner agencies. Officers would continue to request written updates ahead of the meeting.
A member of the forum asked if there was adequate representation from the Oxford Diocese, the Chiltern Conservation Board and Historic England. Ms W Morrison was present on behalf of the Chiltern Conservation Board. Historic England had sent their apologies. The diocese had been invited but had not attended in some time, Ms Alqassar continued to reach out to them.
Feeding into local plans, and ultimately the local plan for the entirety of Buckinghamshire, was felt to be an important part of the forum’s role going forward.
The Chairman would reach out to Dr Moir of the Buckinghamshire Historic Buildings Trust to find out more about Buckinghamshire Council representation and their role and plans going forward. Action: The Chairman. |
