17 Jun 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

We heard in the previous panel the impact of the changing climate—of flooding and the impact on roofs as a result of the deluge rainfall. To your point, we should not see it as a separate entity, should we? It is among us and therefore should be considered in the round with everything else.

Beautiful.

As they set out to do a new application, are some people, just by lack of experience, making unforced errors that they might have otherwise been able to step over had they had mentor support or capacity elsewhere?

Capacity is a huge issue, isn’t it?

You mentioned the Treasury Green Book. Do you hope that the reforms announced at last week’s spending review might improve the chances outside London and the south-east for such projects that you are involved in?

Other than the King’s Award, which is hard to get.

Thirteen successful applications, of how many? How many have you submitted?

Wow.

That is wonderful; thank you. Vanessa and Tegwen, what makes the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful funding application for a restoration project?

It is not on 13 yet.

So perhaps there should be a sort of recognition of prior successes or qualifications of some sort—beyond academic but in terms of their involvement before. You could come at a new project and not be recognised as having had success elsewhere or having specialist knowledge.

Ben, let me just remind you of the question. After a heritage asset has been severely damaged, what value can it still provide?

23
17 Jun 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

Sorry, to cut in on that point. As I understand it, the lottery fund has some examples of funding exploratory projects to see whether they would or could qualify, like a pre-application.

Good morning and thanks for coming. That is a lovely quote: “When love and skill come together, expect a masterpiece”. Forgive my ignorance, who is that, or is that you?

It could be the new Pulp album as well, couldn’t it, really?

To all the panel, do you think that the sector is telling a strong enough story about its environmental take-up and environmental creds?

Alice, once a heritage asset has been severely damaged, what value can it still provide?

15
17 Jun 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

Hilary, I will ask you the same question, but just on a specific National Trust issue. Why did the National Trust decide that restoring Clandon Park would be “extremely challenging”?

30
17 Jun 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

Thank you, and I will ask the same question for the others: what makes the difference between successful and not successful?
