Following recent research work, the IHBC is keen to alert members in Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) that a number of council websites in England do not yet reflect recent changes under the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (ERR) Act 2014 as, for example, some websites continue to refer to the circumstances under which Conservation Area Consent would be required although it is now abolished.
As part of our ongoing research into Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) the IHBC frequently accesses local planning authority web page content, and is concerned at the extent to which problems may be generated by out-dated guidance.
The IHBC is keen to remind members in LPAs to keep their web resources up to date, or to formally notify the officer responsible internally if the information carried on the website is out of date.
For details on the changes in the ERR Act see UK Gov Legislation
