\"\"<\/a>The IHBC has submitted its response to consultation proposals for a new \u2018Right to Regenerate\u2019, a proposed reform by MHCLG (Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government) of the existing \u2018Right to Contest\u2019.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2026 reduce the number of sites that are detracting from the amenity, character or appearance of land\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

The Community Right to Contest already allows members of the public to request that the government directs the disposal of unused or underused land, including vacant homes and garages, owned by public bodies. This right is little-known and little-used, with only one direction to dispose issued since 2014. The consultation proposed a new \u2018Right to Regenerate\u2019 which is intended to be a quicker and easier route to use land more effectively and stimulate regeneration.<\/p>\n

\u2026 Sites with existing buildings should not be treated economically as potentially cleared sites\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

The IHBC writes in its response:<\/p>\n

\u2026 the proposal.. will help\u2026 reduce the number of sites that are detracting from the amenity, character or appearance of land in a particular area\u2026.<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

\u2026 Conditions should prevent any damaging changes to the land especially if it affects a listed building or its setting or the character and appearance of a conservation area\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 Sites with existing buildings should not be treated economically as potentially cleared sites especially where the buildings on the site may be of heritage, local, community or townscape value in any way not simply through formal designation. This may especially but not exclusively apply to industrial, agricultural, religious and community buildings\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 Temporary uses should not make changes which may limit potential future uses; they should not make any damaging changes to the land especially if it affects a listed building or its setting or the character and appearance of a conservation area; that there is clarity about the long term intentions for a particular site\u2026<\/p>\n
