Through joint efforts between the heritage team and enforcement team, the case went all the way to the High Court, resulting in an injunction to cover the roof. The roof is now covered, allowing the interior to dry out after being exposed to the elements for an extended period.

[Buckinghamshire Council Heritage & Archaeology @BucksCArch]

Did you know that our Heritage Officers also assist with enforcement cases involving unauthorised works on listed buildings?

[Buckinghamshire Council Heritage & Archaeology @BucksCArch]

A recent example involved a Grade II listed public house. All the roof tiles were removed without consent, leaving the roof structure exposed to the elements for many months.

We will be looking at all aspects of the Conservation Area, including its buildings, shopfronts, streets, street furniture, public art and green spaces. We will also be reviewing its boundaries.

[Buckinghamshire Council Heritage & Archaeology @BucksCArch]

Our latest blog looks at shopfronts and signage on historic buildings and how they can maintain the aesthetic integrity and cultural significance of our heritage.
