Foreword

As Britain’s largest property investment company, we are aware that the pace of development can be remarkably swift. The built environment, on the other hand, evolves far more slowly and we are mindful of the need to preserve its integrity for future generations.

British Land liaises closely with many organisations which are equally concerned with securing its future: heritage groups, preservation societies, architectural and environmental bodies. Among the many foundations with which we work are English Heritage, The Civic Trust, Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Historic Churches Preservation Trust, CABE, The National Trust and The Scottish National Trust.

Each group has a different remit but all are united by the belief that the country’s architectural inheritance and green spaces should be actively managed to yield the greatest long-term benefit. Our Annual Report looks at the ways in which hands-on conservation helps ensure that the legacy of the past is never forgotten. British Land is delighted to celebrate the work of colleagues and friends who, like ourselves, have a responsibility for shaping the fabric of the world we live in.
