Thatched Roofing
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of allowing water reed to be used as an alternative to thatching straw for protected thatched roofs.
- Answer
-
My Department has no plans to make an assessment of the potential merits of allowing water reed as an alternative thatching material for historic buildings.
Any works to demolish any part of a listed building or to alter or extend it in a way that affects its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest require listed building consent. It is for local planning authorities to decide whether to grant listed building consent depending on the particular circumstances of each case.
