http://www.listedpropertyownersclub.co.uk/newsletter/uploads/pps5.jpg

PPS5 replaces Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and will apply to all planning decisions affecting “Heritage Assets” taken after 23 March 2010.

English Heritage have published simultaneously their “Historic Environment Planning Practice Guide”.

Paragraph 1 of PPS5 says: “Guidance to help Practitioners implement this policy, including the legislative requirements that underpin it, is provided in Planning for the Historic Environment Practice Guide.”

This note provides a preliminary assessment of and comments on PPS5 and will be revised as we gain experience of working with the new policy and guidance.

Further details about how this will affect owners can found in the next issue of Listed Heritage due out 5th May, but if you would like further help please join Listed Property Owners Club Tel: 01795 844939 or visit:
