For example, unprotected parapets on both Norfolk and Suffolk Terraces are subject to Health & Safety concerns; however, remedying this problem, will have an impact upon the cultural significance of the buildings.The CDS suggests that the impact on significance should be taken into account when deciding which to adopt, especially for conspicuous changes affecting significant buildings or settings. The approach is based on the well established conservation principles and conservation plans as recommended by English Heritage. The strategy is comprised of five primary sections; understanding, issues, strategy, condition surveys, building plans. The CDS has three levels of control, one of which is recognised as being maintenance and the straightforward looking after of the buildings on a day-to-day basis.

Specific instructions are detailed in regards to the concrete used throughout the construction of the blocks, a Concrete Preservation Plan (CPP) was devised to achieve quality repairs as the imperative to the success of the work. Both the CDS and CPP request samples to be prepared for comparison with existing repairs before any further work is carried out, a detailed list of exact Legislative concerns to cultural significance Maintenance principles to protect cultural significance SEVEN Chapter Seven - Case Study - UEA Aimee Felton
