Draft Heritage Protection Bill
Thursday, June 26, 2008
Six professional and corporate bodies, including the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), have formed a joint response to the Draft Heritage Protection Bill. The response builds on a joint undertaking in 2007 to provide a professional, joined-up response to the Heritage White Paper.
The professional bodies account for approximately 250,000 members and as well as the CIOB they include:
The Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI)
The Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC)
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)
The Planning Officers Society (POS)
Alongside the group of professional bodies working together to produce the response, it has also been informed by each organisation's individual internal consultation process, supported by meetings with key stakeholders and members.
The report is split into three main sections:
- a statement of our collective strategic support for the draft Bill;
- identification of major issues attached to the development of the draft; and
- detailed commentary on the content of the draft including those items which remain outstanding in the current Bill.
