The Heritage Public Houses Bill would require local councils to keep a national-style register of pubs with heritage value, and it sets out how these pubs are listed, considered in planning, and treated if they are sold. It also allows pubs to be nominated as assets of community value and outlines related listing provisions and restrictions. Overall, the aim is to protect historic pubs and give communities more say over their futures.
The bill is at the second reading stage in the House of Commons, having had its first reading on 21 October 2024.
