The Communities Secretary, Robert Jenrick, has announced new laws aimed at protecting historic plaques, monuments and statues, all of which will now require full planning permission or listed building consent before they can be removed
Lexis®Library update: It is envisaged that historic statues will not be removed unless the situation is exceptional. Instead, the statues should be ‘retained and explained’ for posterity.
