More conservation areas in London could stem 'building stampede'

4th September 2015

A new relaxation of planning rules will make it easier for developers to build on smaller spaces in the capital. However, London boroughs will be able to prevent what has been termed a potential 'building stampede' by giving areas conservation status. There are currently around 1,000 conservation areas in the city and this number could grow as a result of these new regulation changes.
