Abstract
This chapter attempts to present current policy on the preservation of the built heritage within a broad historical context. Its primary focus is upon areas falling within the remit of the Department of National Heritage (DNH) and its various sponsored bodies. However, taxation issues and the roles of other major non-government actors are also discussed.
The views expressed in this chapter are personal and do not necessarily represent those of the Department of National Heritage. Thanks are due to DNH’s Resources and Services Group, Finance and Heritage Divisions, and to the Inland Revenue’s Capital Taxes Office for their help and comments, but needless to say responsibility for any remaining errors, inaccuracies or omissions resides with the author. Tax rates etc. are those applying on 17 November 1995 during the 1995–96 financial year. Comments by the chapter’s dicussant, Frank van Puffelen, and those raised in subsequent questions have been included.
