Two issues stand out at the moment, both of which featured in SAVE's response to the summer's green paper from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on the future of the built environment.
The paper's major proposal was the merger of English Heritage and the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England. In fact this is already happening in practice, and is something that SAVE advocated when English Heritage was established in 1984. SAVE concentrated instead on two issues that were missing from the paper, but which we believe are essential to the future direction of conservation in Britain.
