Ulster Architectural Heritage Society
- Ulster Architectural Heritage Society
Ulster Architectural Heritage Society was founded "to promote the appreciation and enjoyment of architecture from the prehistoric to the present in the nine counties of Ulster, and to encourage its preservation and conservation" [ [http://www.uahs.co.uk/ UAHS] retrieved 08 October 2007]
The Society was founded in 1967, mainly under the impetus of Sir Charles Brett, to counter threats to the survival of Northern Ireland's historic architecture. Today, with a membership of 1200, it is considered one of the most active groups in Britain concerned with this field. [ [http://www.uahs.co.uk/ UAHS] retrieved 08 October 2007] The Society strongly advocated and fought for the introduction of Listed building legislation to Northern Ireland, a campaign which was ultimately successful in 1972. This system saw the introduction of grants for repairs and whole areas being designated for conservation.
The Society's input is frequently sought by both local and national authorities on planning matters and in the development of planning legislation. [ [http://www.uahs.co.uk/ UAHS] retrieved 08 October 2007]
