There is supposed to be some EH involvement, but not always.

I think it says so on the link I gave.
There's consultation and consultation.
And doesn't always mean much notice is taken of it.

PPG15 has a small note on it and Govt historic building unit has guidelines for Govt Depts - which although don't apply to LAs are about same principles.
If LA is to benefit financially from a LB demolition, Govt Office should be involved.

Really? Why?stickybeak said:
Is a GII listed building in London more important than one in, say, Leicestershire?

No it's historic and just carried on. I can't recall why at the moment but it's in my head somewhere!

Sounds typically metropoliscentric to me.

It was when the GLC was abolished - EH inherited the decision making.

I find the GoL man in charge of call-in stuff nice. I think what he does is probably mostly so tedious that any calls are a diversion.

From the latest SALON:
http://www.sal.org.uk/salon/#section7
Back to the White Paper seminar, Ian Dungavell was one of several contributors who expressed concern with the alienating language of the White Paper: designated historic asset, he said, does not convey the love and affection that people have for their heritage. Further (albeit unconscious) support for this view can be found in Current Archaeologys commentary on the White Paper written by our Fellow Andrew Selkirk. Andrew clearly doesnt understand the difference between a HAR (Historic Asset Register; the list of designated assets, such as buildings, monuments, parks, gardens and battlefields) and a HER (Historic Environment Register; what used to be known as a Sites and Monuments Register).
But saying that is not to find fault with Andrew; on the contrary: if someone so knowledgeable is confused, then what will the public make of the White Paper? If public consultation is to work in the future, we are all going to have to try to be more lucid and to develop a new vocabulary to describe the material remains of the past and why we value them perhaps this will prove a considerably greater challenge than that of drafting a new heritage protection bill.

I see from the newsletter attached to the other end of your link that SAVE have launched a £25m bid to save Dumfries House. I'm sure when I saw it for sale in the Times on Sunday it was only £6.5m? Or is that the amount it would take to set up a proper endowment with which to gift it to the National Trust for Scotland?
I understand a major london auction house has the instruction to sell the contents. Does the £25m cover them too? Or have they already been sold? And what happened about the poor old pelmets? Were they contents or fixtures in the end?

There is a major fundraising effort - very much emergency - going on.
A considerable amount has been raised, Adam mailed me this afternoon to say there should be an update in the press tomorrow.
There is a separate thread somewhere on this site about Dumfries House.
http://periodpropertyshop.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7806
The funding is to buy the house and a considerable amount of contents and some endowment, to be run as a charitable trust.
The NTS already pulled out, hence the emergency attempts to save the house, estate and contents from being split up.
