Fosters a civic-minded (administrative) environment… and supports partnership working

Policy when open to and supportive of civic engagement, and beyond that civic initiative is important for adaptive reuse, as these processes are often bottom up initiated projects by locals. Working with those groups, and supporting reuse for a social / cultural use. However, of course this can also lead to abuse (excluding other groups, restricting access), so there is still need for checks and balances, promoting public access, and working in partnership with organisations who are willing to invest time and resources.
