The extent of the backlog and a method of identifying the most urgent works was drawn up in 2018 via the completion of a site wide elemental condition survey and risk assessment. This piece of work of has been built-on and aligned with Kew's Sustainability and Energy Plans, which are targeting a carbon positive estate by 2030, to create a new five-year programme of work across the two estates. This programme consists of infrastructure improvement, refurbishment, and conservation projects. Though not all the projects within the programme relate to listed or protected assets, conservation knowledge and design experience is required to ensure the projects are developed in a sensitive way, respectful of Kew's status as a world Heritage Site.
