Rance Booth Smith Architects were commissioned by Barnsley Council to work on a HLF bid for the Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership. Building Reviews, Condition Surveys and Feasibility options were prepared for various buildings and structures across the Dearne Valley with a focus on the heritage, environment and biodiversity of the Dearne Valley area of Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham.

Through the conservation and restoration of key features across the landscape the project aims to protect and enhance the built, natural and cultural heritage of the Dearne Valley as well as increase people’s understanding and enjoyment, improve and support the local economy and establish long term proposals to create a positive impact.
