Hi ML,
To add to what you said, the new unified list is supposed to have a "local section", which will "...contain a record of all conservation areas and other local designations such as local lists and registers." EH are supposed to look after the national bit of the Register, whilst the local authorities will be responsible for the local bit for their areas. So not confusing in any way whatsoever...
There is a statement in the "Review" that says "It is recognised that this measure has potentially serious resource implications for government.", following the conclusions that SMRs should be statutory and standards should be consistent. I take this to mean that Government have recognised that they will have to pay when SMRs achieve statutory status.
