Good evening Your Worship, how are you?

Whether the claim is justified is open to discussion but IMO it's one of the least likely ones to be upheld.

EH's new Heritage Protection Glossary is the best guide http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/professional/advice/hpg/hpr-glossary/ as it gives the relevant definitions, but the government, like they do, has loaded the dice anyway, as we said in our piece on the definitions -


"Buffer zone: “A buffer zone is an area surrounding [a] property which has complementary legal and/or customary restrictions placed on its use constituting and development to give an added layer of protection to the property. This should include the immediate setting of the property, important views and other areas or attributes that are functionally important as a support to the property and its protection. The area the buffer zone should be determined in each case through appropriate mechanisms.” [UNESCO 2005]

Of course, that’s a UNESCO definition not a UK one and needs to be read with other entries such as Setting and Significance. What really sticks out though is how the ideal definitions expressed under those headings somehow don’t stand up very strongly in the eyes of Inspectors when considering Planning Appeals, especially ones involving wind farms. Amongst other things of course the Government has effectively said to them if its going to generate loads of juice the country needs it, so say yes!"

So when can we expect that article you promised us? Eh?
