Reviews

From the reviews of the first edition: 'There does not seem to me to be a wasted word in this book...A splendid result. For the hard pressed practitioner it is a good book to read to refresh one's mind about the fundamental philosophies. It is also good to be able to present it to clients who want a straightforward explanation of what it is all about.' - Journal of Planning and Environmental Law 'The book will be useful to planners and conservationists - but indispensible to developers and architects who can come to grief unless they understand the principles, philosophy and evolution of conservation legislation and the nitty-gritty of how it works.' - Commercial Property Column, Evening Standard 'This is one of the first reference books to set out in plain, non-legal terms the policy an procedures governing the preservation of historic buildings.' - The Architects' Journal 'A very useful little book which I am sure will be an invaluable reference for most surveyors, architects, planners and conservationists. Written in a reader friendly manner using plain and often non-legal terms to describe the policy and procedures which govern the preservation of our historic buildings.' - Architectural Science Review ...very clearly written and admirably concise' - Urban Studies
