City Centre Theme - Heritage
The character of Derby is in large part defined by its remarkable and internationally recognised heritage. 
We value the historic environment not just for its own sake but also for its role in boosting civic pride and encouraging people to visit Derby. We also recognise its potential as a significant economic asset that can support the economic health of the city centre and play an important role in attracting new investment.
However, some historic parts of the city centre have suffered from reduced footfall and the loss of key businesses. The Vision will need to address this through a series of proactive measures that will support local businesses and improve the physical environment of the historic core.
Included within this theme:
- The importance of heritage
- The historic core
- Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site
- Balancing priorities
Heritage Action Area and Tall Buildings
You can place a pin marker onto the map and add your comments to:
- tell us whether we have identified the right locations for tall buildings or, if there are other areas we should consider
- tell us whether you agree with the area we have identified as a potential Heritage Action Area.
Orange dots = potential tall building locations
Orange area = potential extent of Heritage Action Area
