Closed petition Require developers relocate not demolish buildings of historical interest

Closed on 13 May 2021

I request that where developers plan to develop sites of buildings of historical value, , the developer has to pay full relocation costs for the building to an appropriate local site to ensure historical preservation and continued access to the local community.

Progression is inevitable, however, development is often at the expense of local history without thought to our heritage, and developers can benefit from millions of pounds of profit as a result. Developers should be legally responsible for ensuring areas history and buildings are preserved and accessible to future generations.
