About
Connecting People, Practice, and Place
ConserveConnect.News is the editorial companion to ConserveConnect.com — the UK’s ethical directory for heritage building conservation and community-led regeneration. Where the main platform connects people with trusted professionals, campaigns, and organisations, ConserveConnect.News brings context, analysis, and accountability to the issues that shape how we restore, adapt, and care for our historic environment.
Together, the two platforms connect practice with principle — linking the craft of conservation with the communities it serves.
Our Purpose
ConserveConnect.News was created to amplify the voices behind Britain’s conservation movement — the craftspeople repairing buildings, the residents defending heritage streetscapes, and the policymakers shaping the future of planning and sustainability.
We publish stories, interviews, and investigations that explore how social, political, and economic forces intersect with heritage — from adaptive reuse and planning reform to skills shortages, funding, and the ethics of regeneration. Our aim is to help readers see that conservation is never just about buildings; it’s about people, continuity, and care.
What We Cover
- Policy & Planning – Analysis of legislation, inquiries, and development frameworks that affect historic places.
- Community & Campaigns – Spotlighting grassroots efforts to protect cultural identity and local heritage.
- Craft & Practice – Profiling skilled professionals and showcasing conservation in action.
- Ethics & Economics – Investigating the financial and moral dimensions of regeneration and redevelopment.
A Shared Mission with ConserveConnect.com
While ConserveConnect.com provides practical tools — listings, vetting, and a campaign directory — ConserveConnect.News serves as its public voice.
Together, they form a national hub for ethical conservation:
- The directory connects clients, professionals, and community initiatives.
- The news site ensures transparency, scrutiny, and a national conversation about heritage and development.
Campaigns featured on the directory are often explored in greater depth through our reporting — creating a feedback loop between public advocacy, professional accountability, and shared knowledge.
Editorial Integrity & Independence
All ConserveConnect.News articles are researched and written by our in-house editorial team. We use tools such as ChatGPT, Google, Iris.ai, CoCounsel Legal, and open-source archives to verify information and support our analysis. Every publication is authored, fact-checked, and reviewed in line with our standards of accuracy, transparency, and fairness.
Some contributors publish under pseudonyms to protect privacy or professional independence when addressing sensitive issues. This approach allows important stories to be told honestly, while ensuring that the editorial team retains full responsibility for accuracy and legal compliance.
Why This Matters
At its heart, ConserveConnect.News is driven by a simple idea:
Protecting heritage means protecting people, memory, and identity.
We stand for integrity in conservation, inclusion in regeneration, and fairness in how our historic environment evolves. Whether you’re a craftsperson, a planner, a campaigner, or simply someone who cares about the places that define our lives — ConserveConnect exists to connect you.
