Heritage Alliance reports that England’s Planning Minister Nick Boles made a passionate case for commercially-minded conservation in his speech to the Heritage of London Trust’s (HOLT) annual conference at Westminster City Hall.
Heritage Alliance writes:
Speaking to an audience of conservation officers and historic environment professionals, he argued that aesthetically pleasing and affordable housing was possible, with developers recognising a profit incentive on good design.
He also strongly defended his previous statements on development in green belts, saying that campaigning groups had not been ‘entirely responsible’ when it came to their representations of government policy.
