IHBC members can avail of a 10% reduction in the list price of the update of the standard legal guide on listed buildings, now in its 5th edition and by Dr Charles Mynors & Nigel Hewitson, with the offer closing at end of December 2018.
The publishers write:
Listed Buildings and Other Heritage Assets is the standard reference work for lawyers, planners and all others working in the protection of listed buildings and other heritage assets in the UK.
This text explains how the built heritage is protected, how planning authorities can bring about repairs, which planning and other controls apply, what must be taken into account by planning authorities and developers, and what happens when works are carried out without consent.
New to this Edition
A number of important new statutes changing the law in this area – including the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 in England, the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2016, the Scottish Historic Environment Acts of 2011 and 2014, and the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011. Also significant are the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the Planning Act 2008, the Equality Act 2010, the Localism Act 2011, the Finance Act 2012, and the Planning (Wales) Act 2015.
Secondary legislation too has continued to evolve, with a new General Permitted Development Order, new Appeals Rules, and new Faculty Jurisdiction Rules governing works to churches.
Central government policy has developed, with PPG15 being replaced by the National Planning Policy Framework, the web-based Planning Practice Guidance and, in 2015, the Good Practice Advice notes from Historic England – the new name for the regulatory arm of English Heritage. Revised policy has also emerged in Wales.
As always, the courts have remained active, with over 100 directly relevant decisions, particularly as to the significance of heritage assets in determining planning applications.
All of these developments have been incorporated in the new edition of this comprehensive, practical and accessible book.
