This bill would change how listed buildings and conservation areas are treated under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. It would require the Secretary of State to take into account new factors—environmental performance, health and safety, and maintenance costs—when deciding whether a building or part of it should be listed or removed from the list, and it would allow parts of a building within its curtilage to be excluded from listing. It covers related provisions and aims to clarify the scope of listing decisions under the Act.
