Recent additions to the IHBC’s Listed Building (LB) prosecutions database have taken the number of cases to over 200.
IHBC’s Research Consultant Bob Kindred, who developed and maintains the list, writes:
‘It was in 1996 that the Institute’s predecessor the Association of Conservation Officers established a database to assist a local authority in the successful criminal prosecution of an errant Member of Parliament.
IHBC continues to maintain the National Database of Listed Building Prosecutions which has been accessible online since 2012.
The cases recently added have come to light almost by accident and this suggests that some authorities are still not notifying IHBC of the outcomes of cases. There is no obligation to notify the Institute as the database is compiled on the basis of volunteered information, but additional entries are always gratefully received (irrespective of the degree of success of the outcome).
Cases can continue to be forwarded by e-mail to either government@ihbc.org.uk or bob.kindred@bobkindred.demon.co.uk preferably with at least the baseline information as set out in the main on-line Table.
