This focused session explores the role of compulsory purchase and community asset transfer as strategic tools in heritage-led regeneration. Aimed at local authority officers, building preservations trust and community stakeholders involved in planning, regeneration, and cultural development. The event will examine how councils can unlock the potential of neglected or underused historic buildings to drive wider place-based regeneration schemes.
The session will highlight how these mechanisms can support economic development, strengthen local identity, and create long-term value through cultural and community reuse of historic assets. It will also explore the challenges, risks, and opportunities of taking ownership of heritage buildings to achieve strategic regeneration outcomes.
Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of the tools available, real-life examples of successful interventions, and insights into how councils and community groups can collaborate to lead impactful, heritage-driven regeneration.
