2.4 Policies for the Conservation of Tamworth Castle and its collection In this section a series of Conservation Policies are drafted with clear aims and objectives to: • Conserve and/or enhance each type of heritage • Resolve conflicts • Meet conservation standards 2.4.1 Policy Objectives This part of the plan sets out policies for protecting the significance of Tamworth Castle and realising its potential for public access, enjoyment and understanding. After statements of general principle (section A), policies are set out in seven main areas of responsibility and activity (sections B-H). A Principles and approaches B Conservation, repair and maintenance C Protection of fabric and setting D Information, recording and research E Access and visitor services F Engagement G Presenting and Interpreting the castle H Collections Management J Site management Within each of these sections, individual policies are proposed, with recommendations on ways to implement them and achieve their objectives. Most of them are of general application, relating to the site as a whole or its place in the town. More detailed recommendations which relate to individual elements of the site are contained in the Gazetteer entries in Part Three of the Plan. Where relevant these are cross referenced to the principal policies set out here. Definitions Words used in this plan have specific meanings as understood by International Conservation Conventions and specifically the Burra Charter (Australia Icomos 1988). Conservation means all the processes of looking after a place so as to retain its significance. It includes maintenance, preservation, restoration, reconstruction and adaptation, and will often be a combination of processes. Maintenance means maintaining the continuous protective care of the fabric, contents and setting of a place. Preservation means maintaining the fabric of a place in its existing state, and retarding deterioration. Restoration means returning existing fabric to a known earlier state by removing accretions or re-assembling existing components, without introducing additional materials, new or old, into the fabric. Adaptation means modifying a place to proposed appropriate uses. Protection is not defined by the Burra Charter. The meaning as used in this Plan is the guarding of significant fabric or values against actual or potential damage, which might arise from planned activity or accidental events, or from the normal process of decay.
