Casework campaigning and advice has always been a key element of the Society's
work. Today, in England and Wales, the Society has a role in the secular planning
system. We must be notified, by local planning authorities of all application
that involve total or partial demolition, and we have an opportunity to comment.
We have a similar role in the systems operated by religious bodies that hold an
exemption from secular listed building control.
In its casework, the Society concentrates on buildings that date from 1720 or
before. We cannot take up all cases, but if the fabric of an important ancient
building is threatened by neglect, or by proposals for significant alteration,
please contact the Society on 0207 377 1644 or at
info@spab.org.uk
