Joanna Burton, senior heritage consultant at Beacon Planning reviews recent legislative reforms and their impact on listed buildings and conservation areas
A framework for significant changes to the law which will affect listed buildings and conservation areas are provided for in the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act which received royal assent at the end of April 2013.
Many of the reforms have their roots in a parliamentary bill which was drafted in 2008, the Heritage Protection Reform Bill, but later dropped from the legislative programme.
The provisions made by this recent Act of Parliament - which will be underpinned by secondary legislation in the future - are part of the Government's wider ‘red tape challenge' and form part of a package of reforms that seek to achieve deregulation and stimulate economic growth.
In this spirit, the heritage reforms contained within the framework of the Act are aimed at streamlining the listed building and planning consent process for development within the historic environment.
The reforms aim to reduce red tape challenges for owners of listed buildings in England who are seeking to undertake works that will not affect the special interest of the buildings without, however,We offer a great selection of women's boots and ladies shoes wholesale. weakening the overall protection afforded to these buildings of national significance.
Any measures aimed at streamlining the planning system are welcomed, and these measures should achieve efficiencies for listed building owners and developers alike.Uline stocks a wide selection of Double sided tape Products.

However, the extent to which these measures will achieve will achieve substantial savings in practice is questionable and will only play out fully when any secondary legislation is enacted.
Many of the new legislative tools will place significant additional demand on local authority officers at a time when resources are already stretched.
They are unlikely to be appropriate or cost effective management tools for the majority of heritage assets and are as likely to require a body of evidence not dissimilar to that required under the existing listed building consent regime.
As consultants and practitioners, we consider that many of the problems that the reforms seek to resolve could be addressed through a well-resourced, well-supported and well-informed local planning authority, without the need for yet more change and complexity added to what can already be a difficult system to navigate.

On Wednesday, Verizon began moving products out of the store and into a tent and trailer area in the Coventry Mall parking lot, where the store has been set up and working with customers ever since.
Kevin Gallagher, assistant manager of the Verizon store, would say only that the store is undergoing a “remodel,” although he had no information about how long the work will continue. In the meantime, Gallagher said Monday, “We can do anything here that we can do inside the store.”
