The first such talk, on 19th May, by Brian Mark on ‘Retrofitting Houses” was well attended by an audience which included several local architects, National Park planners and a former Government Advisor for the Environment.

There followed an informal, lively and lengthy discussion.

These talks are expected to attract experts in related fields, planners, councillors and others, in order to both inform and promote lively debate.
