A Building Preservation Order (BPO) is a legal notice issued by a local planning authority to protect a building that’s considered to have special architectural or historic interest. It’s often used when a building isn’t officially listed but is at risk of alteration or demolition.
Once a BPO is in place, the owner must get permission before carrying out any works that might affect the building’s character – even for things that wouldn’t usually need consent. These orders can sometimes be temporary while the council considers full listing, but they carry real weight in preventing damage to important heritage.
At GloverPriest, we understand navigating the law can be a difficult task to take on alone. That’s why we created this comprehensive guide to help promote information for everyone to use.
