"People may value a place for many reasons beyond utility or personal
association: for its distinctive architecture or landscape, the story it can tell
about its past, its connection with notable people or events, its landform, flora and fauna, because they find it beautiful or inspiring, or for its role as a focus of a community. These are examples of cultural and natural heritage values in the historic environment that people want to enjoy and sustain for the benefit of present and future generations, at every level from the ‘familiar and cherished local scene’ to the nationally or internationally significant place.
