Sustainable Conservation Trust, College Road, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, PO1 3LJ

Coastal towns like Portsmouth face a distinct set of challenges—and opportunities—when it comes to the reuse of buildings. From housing needs and job creation to preserving the character and memory embedded in the built environment, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Join Don't Waste Buildings in Portsmouth for a compelling case study tour that explores how creative reuse can support regeneration, boost the local economy, and meet urgent housing demands—without losing what makes places unique.

This special event is delivered in partnership with the Sustainable Conservation Trust and will be attended by Stephen Morgan MP, who continues to champion Portsmouth’s potential and heritage.

Expect guided visits to key buildings and projects, insight from local stakeholders and national experts, and conversations that challenge conventional thinking on planning, preservation and policy. A complete programme will be released closer to the date.

Spaces are limited—book now to be part of the conversation shaping the future of Portsmouth and towns like it.
