listed building consent

The Welsh Government has proposed changes to the listed building consent regime that would make planning authorities, rather than ministers, responsible for determining certain categories.

Proposals by the Law Commission that would see approvals for changes to Listed Building Consents and general planning applications combined would put heritage sites at risk, according to RTPI Cymru.

Environment minister Mark H Durkan has begun consulting on proposals to remove the exemption from listing controls that apply to all active listed places of worship in Northern Ireland.
