DNH proposes listing facades and removing Crown immunity
Article Abstract:
The 'Protecting our Heritage' document issued recently by the UK department of national heritage contains a number of new recommendations for dealing with the listing of significant buildings. These include the possibility of listing only the facade of buildings, thus allowing large-scale changes to be made inside. There is also a proposal for an interim measure which would be applied by law to buildings which are in the consultation period between being recommended by English Heritage and their final listing.
