I live in a block of terrace houses, what if some arty farty party person decided they should be listed? Anyone owning one would never be able to sell because the buyer would have the expense of maintaining it as it is, no chance of improving.

Totally agree Less, its fine trying to protect our heritage, but if things need to kept for posterity then finances should be in place for the upkeep, why should it fall on the people who own these properties. I know the guy who owns Rhyddings mill was after knocking the old fascia of the fire damaged building down years ago because it was very unsafe but they wouldn't let him, its a nonsense
