Mr. Ian Lumley:

It raises a concern due to a lack of transparency. The issue is there is not a public record of communications between the conservation architect and the conservation officer or architect, or whoever it is who is representing the council. There is then the issue of the letters that are all in a file, meaning that if somebody is looking at planning a file for building, if a new property owner becomes involved, if the building changes hands and if there is a sale, that everything that has been to the building is transparent. That is another very important consideration.
