Outline of the proposal and the overall aims/purposes:*** NB: This is a working document which will be updated as the Heritage Strategy is approved, implemented and progressed.*** Overview of Proposal Kirklees Council plans to publish its Heritage Strategy in 2024. The aims of the Heritage Strategy are to create and support conditions which will enhance, celebrate, care for and maximise the incredible potential of heritage in all its forms in Kirklees. It sets out an overarching strategic approach to heritage over the next ten years. The Heritage Strategy is linked to the development of a new Cultural Strategy and a Tourism Strategy. Together these three strategies will provide an ambitious framework for collaborative and inclusive community shaping of the future of the district. 1. Summary 1.1 ‘We are Making History’, a Heritage Strategy for Kirklees, has been in development since 2019. The catalyst was the Bringing out the Best (BB) project, which was delivered by the Kirklees Museums and Galleries (KMAG) team and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF). The NLHF funding provided an opportunity for strategic planning for heritage in Kirklees and the concept of a Heritage Strategy was endorsed by the BB project board, Portfolio Holder and senior council officers. 1.2 Public consultation on the draft strategy took place between November 2022 and January 2023 and a resulting public engagement report will be published on Kirklees Council’s Involve database, concurrent with the publication of this cabinet report. 1.3 The aims of the Heritage Strategy are to create and support conditions which will enhance, celebrate, care for and maximise the incredible potential of heritage in all its forms in Kirklees. It sets out an overarching strategic approach to heritage over the next ten years. 1.4 The ambitions of the strategy will be implemented through its three year Strategic Heritage Action Plan (SHAP) 2024-2027, which will allow a dynamic approach to realise new opportunities and adapt to changing circumstances. 1.5 External funding will be sought to create additional capacity to deliver the SHAP and other heritage projects. This strategy provides information for funders against which to assess heritage related applications from the Kirklees district. 1.6 The SHAP will contribute significantly to the production of local Cultural Delivery Plans (CDPs), to be created as part of a new Cultural Strategy for Kirklees, which is in development currently. The CDPs will involve key stakeholders and local communities in developing inclusive priorities for culture and heritage which are relevant to the diverse districts across Kirklees. 1.7 The Heritage Strategy has been developed in conjunction with closely associated Tourism and Cultural Strategies, also in development. The Cultural Strategy will be the overarching strategy, produced in partnership with the Cultural Sector and complementing the West Yorkshire Cultural Framework 1.8 'We are Making History,’ was chosen to highlight the past, the present and future. Kirklees has always been an area of change making and innovation, creating global impact and making history. Alongside this, every day each person in Kirklees is making their own personal history and connectivity with the past helps to shape the future of our district. 2. Impacts/Outcomes Outcomes of the Kirklees Heritage Strategy are set out in detail in Section 7 of the strategy. They are: • Confidence - Increased confidence in the Council’s long term strategic approach to its heritage, which will lead to increased investment • Sustainability - Heritage assets are adequately protected through appropriate uses, delivering financial and environmental sustainability for those assets • Duty of Care - Heritage assets are preserved, protected and enhanced to improve the visitor and community offer or for other appropriate uses • Ambition & Opportunity - Economic and visitor growth in Kirklees is delivered through heritage led regeneration programmes • Engagement – Increased aspiration and a sense of identity and belonging amongst Kirklees’ residents • Participation – Improved awareness of and engagement with heritage by residents and visitors leading to increased well-being and enabling residents to make decisions about their heritage 3. Benefits/Opportunities As well as delivering the Outcomes above, the Heritage Strategy also plays an active role in supporting and reflecting Council Vision and Outcomes for improving people’s lives in Kirklees. Heritage can deliver on wellbeing, learning, aspiration and community cohesion. It is an embodiment of the Council’s place-based approach and reflects Council ambitions for regeneration, e.g., heritage assets enhanced through town blueprints and Huddersfield's Our Cultural Heart. Its Vision (Section 6 of the Heritage Strategy) for Kirklees and its people about realising the benefits and opportunities created by a strong heritage offer can be summarised as follows: • Creation of a strong sense of identity informing an aspirational future • Achieving a widely recognised positive profile, making more people aware of what Kirklees has to offer • Creation of conditions for heritage to thrive • Promotion of collaboration between communities and with the Council, to support communities’ needs • Championing diversity and strengthening inclusion for all our communities • Creation of regenerative change through an award winning heritage offer and positive economic impacts through visitor, tourism and regeneration growth In particular, the strategy seeks to deliver on significant current opportunities: • Recognises that heritage is not only about physical assets such as buildings but also the history of Kirklees, in particular its people, identity and stories and how these are told. • Raises the profile of the unique rich and diverse heritage of Kirklees, recognising its importance to the district. • Seeks to be proactive, collaborative and innovative in the way our heritage is cared for and made sustainable (both financial and environmental), finding creative ways we can enjoy and learn from it, developing it in a way we can ensure it thrives for future generations. • Strengthens partner relationships due to confidence in long term plans and opportunities to collaborate and as a result unlocks investment from funders, sponsors and donors. This is particularly important at the current time when local councils are experiencing financial challenges as a result of various post-Covid factors and have pressing priorities for their own funding. • Provides a relevance to national and sector funding, for example Levelling Up and Priority Place initiatives, which emphasise connections with local place and identity, as well as cross region cultural growth. Kirklees is a Levelling up for Culture and Arts Council England Priority Place, which will help to attract investment.

CLiK survey,Director of Public Health Report,Kirklees area profiles,Kirklees Factsheets,Kirklees Involve,Kirklees joint strategic assessment,Project specific engagement and consultation,Other In developing the Heritage Strategy, heritage sector organisations (e.g. Arts Council England (ACE), National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF), Historic England (HE) and Museum Development Yorkshire (MDY) ) were consulted in its development. The strategy has also been developed alongside engagement to inform the linked Cultural and Tourism strategies, and engagement and evaluation of major heritage led programmes such as the Dewsbury and Huddersfield High Street Heritage Action Zones, WOVEN, and Kirklees Year of Music. The strategy also considered past heritage led programmes across the district. Public Engagement undertaken for the new Huddersfield Museum and Gallery and for Kirklees Museums in North Kirklees as part of the NLHF funded BB project in 2020-21 focused on engagement with underrepresented groups and provided important community background information to help shape the Heritage Strategy. See Public Engagement Report for a new Museum and Gallery for Huddersfield https://www.kirklees.gov.uk/beta/museums-and-galleries/public-engagement-report.aspx . This focused mostly on the development of current sites managed by the Council through the Museums and Galleries team, as the NLHF funding was awarded to the museums team to support this purpose. The draft Heritage Strategy public consultation process from November 2022 – January 2023 was widely promoted by the Council’s Communications team (see Public Consultation Report: Kirklees Heritage Strategy - Summary of Consultation Feedback on Involve Website https://www.kirklees.gov.uk/involve/Public Engagement Report). The consultation included: • Simple online survey including questions on the strategy and SHAP content • Paper surveys available at museum sites, Kirklees events and via a phone request line • Two public events in North Kirklees and South Kirklees • One online elected members’ engagement session • Existing stakeholders - community and heritage groups - signposted to the consultation • Discussions with key heritage partner stakeholders to review their response to the Strategy As a result: • 135 comments were received from Kirklees residents, cultural partners, funders and other stakeholders such as Historic England and West Yorkshire Archives Service, as well as key internal Council services such as Conservation Planning and Libraries. • These comments have been reviewed with the Council’s Research and Intelligence Team and the strategy amended as appropriate. • The full consultation report is available via the Council’s Involve database with the publication of the Cabinet Report about the Heritage Strategy.Comments in relation to intelligence and insight considered:

Implementation of the strategy's Strategic Heritage Action Plan (SHAP) will highlight specific community priorities for action. The existence of the strategy provides a co-ordinated framework against which external funders will assess funding bids for heritage programmes in Kirklees. Additional investment in heritage, e.g. through the creation of a new museum and art gallery as part of Huddersfield's Cultural Heart, and through major heritage led investment plans, will raise awareness of community stories and contribute to community cohesion and well being. Data and evidence from engagement and consultation on the development of the Heritage Strategy indicates that the strategy will have a strong positive impact on public representation of people from different racial backgrounds, creating opportunities to share stories, support wider understanding and raise awareness.

The Heritage Strategy aims to create opportunities for people to develop a lifetime relationship of sharing and appreciating their own heritage and that of others. To do this effectively people at different life stages will be involved in the development of Cultural Delivery Plans to ensure that when planning heritage related learning and leisure opportunities and accessible facilities, the needs of pregnant people, new parents and early years children are considered and informed by user need.

The Heritage Strategy and SHAP outline the creation of an online Heritage Hub. Engaging with key heritage stakeholders and local people on the form this Hub will take will ensure that it provides a central point for information about heritage related activities. This will benefit sector funders, potential investors and heritage partners, tourists, businesses and local people. A Kirklees Heritage Partnership will also be created to allow local groups to create communication networks to better co-ordinate, collaborate and communicate activity. The creation of CDPs will also mean local planning and activity to promote and information about heritage and encourage community collaboration.

One of the strategy’s Key Principles addresses the need to respond to Climate Emergency in the development of heritage, the enhancement of heritage green space, and to raise awareness of climate impact through heritage interpretation (eg relating to the area’s industrial past) and learning activity (eg linked to collections, heritage landscapes and parks) and partnership working eg with environmental organisations. This approach was well supported in the consultation feedback and is therefore likely to be part of the focus of Cultural Delivery Plans for heritage and culture in localities across the district. The Heritage Strategy also makes links to the forthcoming Kirklees Council Environment Strategy, and the SHAP will create actions to support its delivery. Future actions relating to the strategy will need to recognise the practical challenges of applying energy saving measures to historic buildings and sites, and provide information and support to residents and businesses. The strategy itself is a high level document which does not involve specific planning applications or developments. It provides a heritage framework within which programmes to increase access to heritage should be considered in the light of air quality and other environmental issues.

A major element of the strategy’s approach to Climate Risk and Vulnerability will be to improve planning in this area. Planning collaborative long-term solutions will mitigate risks to heritage assets of all kinds from extreme fluctuations in weather. Changes in temperature and humidity impact on heritage buildings, landscapes and collections, placing them at significant risk of deterioration and destruction, so a prioritised action plan will be created in order to develop measures to adapt and protect key heritage assets for the future, and provide advice for heritage owners.

Details, information or evidence in relation to waste reduction: One of the strategy’s Key Principles addresses the need to respond to Climate Emergency in the development of heritage, the enhancement of heritage green space, and to raise awareness of climate impact through heritage interpretation (eg relating to the area’s industrial past) and learning activity (eg linked to collections, heritage landscapes and parks) and partnership working eg with environmental organisations. This approach was well supported in the consultation feedback and is therefore likely to be part of the focus of Cultural Delivery Plans for heritage and culture in localities across the district. The Heritage Strategy also makes links to the forthcoming Kirklees Council Environment Strategy, and the SHAP will create actions to support its delivery. Future actions relating to the strategy will need to recognise the practical challenges of applying energy saving measures to historic buildings and sites, and provide information and support to residents and businesses. The strategy itself is a high level document which does not involve specific planning applications or developments. It provides a heritage framework within which programmes to increase access to heritage and raise awareness of waste management should be considered in the light of waste management and other environmental issues.
