Commentary on Sections Part 8 – Planning Permission, Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas Section 64 – Demolition in conservation areas
216.This section disapplies the provisions of section 66 (control of demolition in conservation areas) of the Listed Buildings Act from any building (which is not a listed building), which may be affected by Forth Crossing works authorised under the Act and which may be included in a conservation area designated after 1 January 2009. The section therefore permits the demolition of a building within a conservation area without requiring consent.
