The additional information is also intended to reinforce the best practice guidance issued by government to local authorities in 2006 relating to listed building prosecutions which followed the high profile prosecution case at \u2018Greenside, Wentworth, Surrey\u2019.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>IHBC Policy Secretary Mike Brown said: \u2018In this increasingly litigious age clearly it is vital that public authorities draw on the best possible professional advice when making decisions. For decisions on listed buildings and conservation areas this is particularly important as the general public are such strong champions of their heritage and expect it to be properly looked after. These commentaries highlight how vital it is that Local Authorities retain their in-house conservation expertise.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly, IHBC Director, said: \u2018This publication is currently in the form of a digital \u2018flipbook\u2019, so it can be accessed easily from the IHBC\u2019s web site by anyone.
