Heritage at heart

Interesting short article by Dave Chetwyn "Heritage at heart (draft PPS15 on the historic environment)", in Planning No 1836 18 Sep 2009, 17

Explores the initial response of stakeholders to the publication of the draft planning policy statement on the historic environment (PPS15). Highlights the key features of the draft PPS15 and what the government hopes will be achieved by the new guidance. Looks at the debate over the effectiveness of the changes and especially the possible negative impact of the implicit separation of heritage management from the wider place-making context. Highlights concerns within the built environment professions about the draft's lack of recognition of the role of historic buildings in the social regeneration of towns and cities and in the creation of sustainable communities.

If you could post a link to this article, I'd be most appreciative! I am researching this subject for an article of my own.
