Listed, scheduled.. and spoilt

PETER RICHARDS of Essex County Planning

Dept writes of the problems which have

arisen over buildings which are both

listed and Scheduled Ancient Monuments.

Over recent years, a number of buildings

which fall into the joint category of

being listed and scheduled (see Appendix

No.1), have been affected by changes.

In four particular cases, different

aspects of the dual protection have

resulted in different problems being

highlighted. These cover design matters,

suitable uses, building regulation

control and urgent repairs.

Before cdnsidering these four headings,

an initial matter must be mentioned. To

those dealing day—to—day with these

things, the fact that scheduled monument

consent takes precedence over listed

stack and concrete floor were installed
