Enabling Development
This document supersedes the previous document as from September 25th 2008. English Heritage’s Policy Statement and Practical Guide to Assessment: Enabling Development and the conservation of heritage assets has provided a standard approach to considering enabling development since its publication in June 2001. We have now decided to update this guidance in light of practical experience, changing legislation, some additional issues that have emerged, and a greater number of relevant reports and decisions by the Planning Inspectorate.
It should be stressed that the policy approach itself has not changed, although its wording has been updated to align with our Conservation Principles, Policies and Guidance for the Sustainable management of the historic environment (April 2008). There is also a short synopsis of the principal differences between the existing and new edition.
What's New
- Tuesday 3 February 2009 - LGA/English Heritage Conference - Local Government House, London SW1. How can we make the most of the forthcoming heritage protection reforms, - although the Heritage Protection Bill was not included in the Queen’s Speech, a raft of changes which do not require legislative change are currently underway – new planning policy statements, and related guidance?
- English Heritage, which launched the Save our Streets campaign in 2004, has now published the best “how to” examples from around the country in ten Streets for All: Practical Case Studies. These showcase examples of councils who have taken the initiative to deal with a particular aspect of street clutter.
