Collaboration & Conservation: Zoe & Jess on Heritage Podcast
HPA’s Zoe Hooton, Specialist Conservation Architect, and Jess Barrow, Planning & Heritage Consultant, recently appeared on the Heritage Buildings Association Podcast, sharing their experiences and insights from working within the historic built environment.
Speaking to host Vincent Reed for the Heritage Buildings Association podcast series, Zoe and Jess explored some of the key challenges facing heritage professionals today, from navigating planning and listed building consent processes to balancing the differing perspectives of architects, archaeologists, conservation officers and heritage organisations. They discussed how successful conservation projects rely on careful investigation, evidence-based decision-making and effective collaboration between all parties involved.
With a focus on connecting the heritage buildings community, the podcast provides an interesting insight into the realities of heritage practice today and the value of collaboration, professional expertise and early engagement in achieving successful outcomes for historic buildings and places.
Joining the podcast was an opportunity for Zoe and Jess to share their expertise with the wider heritage community and contribute to important conversations about the future of conservation and the historic environment.
