We have world-class expertise in architecture, design and engineering, and British companies are leading the way in sustainable construction solutions. It is also a sector with considerable growth opportunities, with the global construction market forecast to grow by over 70% by 2025. Changes in the international economy are creating new opportunities for Britain. To help boost the economic recovery, Government is doing all it can to help British businesses grow and have the aspiration, confidence and drive to compete in the global race. This includes reforming the planning system, ensuring funding is available for key infrastructure projects and supporting the housing market through key initiatives such as the Help-to-Buy Equity Loan Scheme and the Funding for Lending Scheme. The Government wants to work with industry to ensure British companies are well-placed to take advantage of these opportunities. As part of our Industrial Strategy policy, the Government is building long-term partnerships with sectors that can deliver significant growth. -

Managing Change in the Historic Environment: Structures
Managing Change in the Historic Environment Engineering Structures October 2010 Key Issues 1. Historic structures and works of civil engineering are often of significant architectural and historic interest in their own right. Listed building consent is required for any works affecting the character of a listed building and planning permission may be required in a conservation area. Scheduled monument consent is always required for works to scheduled monuments. 2. Works to historic engineering structures must be based on a thorough understanding of their design, construction and use of materials. This is likely to require the involvement of structural engineers and others with relevant experience of dealing with such structures. 3. Where remedial or strengthening works are found necessary, they must: • be in sympathy to the way that structure performs; • restore the structural strength and extend its life. 4. Existing materials should be replaced only where essential to structural stability or other safety- related issues, and where the consequences of that intervention are understood. In general, existing material should be retained and augmented, rather than replaced, by new construction where stability or other safety-related issues are of concern. 5. Some structures may not have an obvious alternative use, but should nonetheless be retained to give a sense of place to a development. 6. Planning authorities give advice on the requirement for listed building consent, planning and other permissions. 2 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This is one of a series of guidance notes on managing change in the historic environment for use by planning authorities and other interested parties. The series explains how to apply the policies contained in the Scottish Historic Environment Policy (2009) (SHEP, PDF 312K) and The Scottish Planning Policy (2010) (SPP, PDF 299K). -
