The Government has launched a consultation including the removal of the Gardens Trust as a statutory consultee, running until mid-January.
The Gardens Trust writes:
We robustly contest the proposal to remove the statutory consultee role, and disagree that it would improve the planning system. Instead, precious parks and gardens, hard won over many centuries, would be lost to communities both now and in future. We are passionate about the role that the UK’s world-famous historic parks and gardens can play in supporting positive economic growth and healthy cohesive societies, and eager to continue helping this in our role as statutory consultee.
We encourage supporters to respond to the consultation and will publish our response as soon as possible.
