Chair of the RIBA鈥檚 Conservation Group, Fiona Raley, said:
鈥淥ur historic buildings reflect our society and contribute to our cultural identity. Protecting historic buildings and monuments from inappropriate change is a welcome start, but many still face uncertain futures. Without sufficient investment for repair, maintenance and appropriate interventions, we will not be able to ensure their long-term viability. We must all do more to protect the UK鈥檚 historic buildings 鈥� some of our most valuable assets 鈥� to ensure they exist for future generations to enjoy.鈥�
