Relies on a local partnership to self-sustain

Developing and maintaining local partnerships (both in informal or formal / legal structures) is essential for trust, and working in collaboration rather than competition with other local initiatives and partners. Such partnerships are invaluable for the long-term reuse of heritage assets, supporting also ethical reuse, rather than exploiting certain partners for mean-while use, whilst focussing on others for longer-term uses.
