I can see how deregulation works and I think that includes deregulation of building regulation because it would allow rampant innovation. Unfortunately a lot of this innovation would be dangerous and probably offensive and would fail, but it would judged and undertaken by the individual and if you consider listed buildings within the individual's interpretation and value of "heritage" rather than the great unknowable public service double speak.
When looking at a listed residential building I am always confused as to what has been listed. Is it the brick, the combination of bricks, the combination of bricks which might have come from a particular period and or is it who lived in it but now it's somehow become that anybody who lives in the place wants to live in a museum. It does seem that they want Eh to more precisely define what the listing is for. Ha ha impossible but if they can get it to be a stutory function we are talking major jobs wort possibly thousands of jobs
