Mr. Paul Hogan:

I think that might fall into the trap of trying to over-regulate, to be honest. These things are best assessed at a local level. An architectural conservation area is possible under planning legislation. That does not necessarily involve protected structures and may not be grounds for de-exemption either. Therefore, there are ways of addressing and approaching this aspect with existing mechanisms without adding to the list of protected structures. As Ms Graham said, the status of being a protected structure can de-exempt or have the effect of de-exempting.
