This is your chance to have a say on your experience of heritage protection and the planning system. 
 
How we will use your data
The CLA and Historic Houses will aggregate responses to produce statistics that will inform our policy and lobbying activities.  The survey is anonymous unless you choose to identify yourself.  Potential case studies will be anonymised and subject to further consent.  We will store survey responses for two years on our servers.  Access to the survey data will be limited to those delivering the project.  If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Roller at sarah.roller@historichouses.org or Jonathan Thompson at jonathan.thompson@cla.org.uk

Question Title

* 8. Have you, in the last 10 years, had experience of having any property you own or manage newly designated by Historic England/Cadw/Historic Environment Scotland/the local authority (i.e. creating new listings, new schedulings, new conservation area designations)?  Or of official changes to existing listings/schedulings/other designation(s))?   

 If so, please comment in the box below.  Please include which kind of designation, and give approximate date(s). Please also comment on whether you feel you were adequately consulted, and whether or not any comments you made (eg on whether your property should be designated, or on boundaries) were adequately taken into account? 

Question Title

Question Title

Question Title

* 14. If you did consider works but did not apply for consent, or did apply but then withdrew your application, was that decision influenced by the heritage consent system (i.e. because getting consent(s) was too expensive or seemed like too much of an obstacle)? Tick one box only.

Question Title

* 15. If you feel your proposals were defeated by the heritage consent system, did the consequences include (tick any/all that apply):
