The IHBC’s submission to the Public Committee debate on the Localism Bill has been published, highlighting threats to the heritage.
The IHBC’s submission states that ‘allowing neighbourhood planning to bypass a process that helps care for our heritage of listed buildings and conservation areas disregards the national interest in them. The provisions (Sched. 12, paras 22-24) are fundamentally at odds with Localism as they can facilitate the destruction of cherished local identity.’
The submission by English Heritage states ‘there are provisions in the Bill which have the potential to reduce the level of protection for heritage of more than local interest.’
