Arts and Crafts alive and well in the Cotswolds

Good clients, Mary and Antony Haynes, walked into the MASCo yard one month ago and said, “We want a gazebo exactly the same as the William Morris one at Kelmscott Manor“.

Straight forward enough, really!

So, thanks to Mike Mitchell and Neil Gardiner, the job was completed within one month of planning consent using all traditional materials supplied and sourced by MASCo.

Thornton Kay from SALVO needs you to get your comments in very quickly to support the trade campaign to include, once more, the consideration of reclaimed materials in planning applications.

Who is saving traditional and historic building materials?

Cutting a long and shocking story short: the very conservationists and heritage lobby  you would imagine to be vigorous supporters of saving traditional and historic building materials have encouraged the diminution of reclaimed materials in planning considerations. Since 1997, English Heritage has quietly removed support in Codes of Practice that would require planning authorities to demand that applicants consider reuse and reclamation. 

Act now: support this trade campaign

Lobby, quickly, to reinstate and reinforce the statutory requirement to include reuse and reclamation in all important planning matters. It is not sufficient to accept the individual good will of the more conscientious  planning departments. It should be a legal obligation, not dependent on  favour or the vagaries of individual opinion. 

Email  in the first  instance PPSHistoric-Environment@communities.gsi.gov.uk or write to Phil Weatherby, PSI Division, Communities and Local Government, Eland House, Bressenden Place, London, SW1 E5DU. Quote the Consultation Paper on new Planning Policy Statement 15: Planning for the Historic Environment.
