The Culture, Media and Sport Committee is to examine the importance of built heritage in the UK and the barriers to its preservation.

The inquiry will examine issues with funding and whether current finance models are suitable and accessible.  It will also engage with how the Government can tackle practical and regulatory challenges, such as the availability of skilled practitioners, the managed decline of assets on publicly-owned land, and policy issues arising from net zero targets and planning policy.

CIOB, has submitted its response to the inquiry with feedback taken from its Heritage Advisory Panel.

We await the Committee's final report and further information about the inquiry can be found here.
