Hi all A recent Court of Appeal Judgement (25th March 2011 - SAVE Britain's Heritage v SSCLG) relating to planning control over demolition, as I understand it took account of a previous judgement (Commission v Ireland C-50/09) now means that all demolition works come within the scope of EIA, whereas previously they were classified as permitted development. The effect is that where demolition works are likely to have significant impacts on the environment, an LPA must issue a screening opinion on whether EIA is required. Where EIA is required permitted development rights fall away and formal application for planning permission is required. My question is, does anyone have experience of what types of demolition have, since the judgement required prior approval form an LPA and/or what criteria have been used to assess whether works are likely to require an EIA? Any tips or pointers greatly appreciated!
