Abstract
The research presented aims to study the process of Conservation Management Planning as a process, in order to assess how the plans and the planning process are viewed by the day-to-day stakeholders of built Cultural Heritage. The benefits and usefulness of Conservation Management Planning have been widely recognized across the field of cultural heritage, particularly within the organizations or authorities overseeing the development and funding of different sites. Undoubtedly, the process of Conservation Management Planning allows for a thorough insight in to the site in question but does the written plan allow for a better management of the property overall The study presented draws from direct contact with stakeholders of built cultural heritage - the owners, managers and administrators of private properties, as well as professionals of governing organizations. Interviews with stakeholders are summarized and discussed, in an attempt to assess to which extent Conservation Management Plans are, in fact, used in practice, whether they are considered to be a practical approach, whether these plans are thought to allow for a more sustainable management approach to a property and how, if at all, the process of Conservation Management Planning could be further developed. A property under the guardianship of Historic Scotland, Smailholm Tower, is used as a Case Study to allow for insight into the complexity of issues a stakeholder of a property may encounter, and to assess whether a Conservation Management Plan would encourage the sustainable preservation of this significant property for the future generations. Key words: Conservation Management Planning Sustainability Management Repair and Maintenance Benefits and Practicality.
