Listed buildings: strengthening of the powers of protection and prevention

Abstract

Considers the recent changes in the law and practice of the preservation of listed buildings, particularly revised legislation which allows increased protection measures, greater willingness to take action against owners, and the division of responsibilities in government between the Department of Environment and the Department of National Heritage. Concludes that the powers to prevent unauthorised work and neglect to listed buildings are now much strengthened.
