It’s been a busy time in Westminster over the past few months, but our campaign continues to press for change. We’ve focused our efforts on Whitehall in the past weeks, looking at the regulations and guidelines that impact listed buildings.

We have been particularly pursuing the issue of Local Listed Building Consent Orders; instruments that would allow owners to carry out minor works without needing to submit an application. We believe that this system offers the potential for huge reductions in paperwork and major cost savings.

The Club has submitted a number of Freedom of Information requests to government departments and non-governmental bodies and is working with APPG members to press for answers on this crucial issue.

For full details see the next issue of our magazine Listed Heritage.
