 Our New-look Historic Environment Update
Welcome to the refreshed Historic Environment Update. We have moved the Update to the GovDelivery platform, a well-established communications channel widely used by public bodies across the UK. This will give us greater flexibility when producing the Update and ensure that your address details are held and used securely. If you have not yet subscribed to the Update, follow the link in the black box at the bottom.
Consolidation of the Historic Environment Legislation for Wales
In spite of the more immediate and pressing demands arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit, Cadw’s Legislation and Policy Team has also been able to begin work on an exciting project to consolidate the historic environment legislation for Wales. During the project, the team will be collaborating with Welsh Government colleagues in the Office of the Legislative Counsel, the Legal Services Department and the Translation Service.
We have created a New Legislation page on the Cadw website where we will post information about the project and updates on progress. We have mounted a video on the page of the Counsel General, Jeremy Miles MS, explaining consolidation and how the work on the historic environment legislation will be the first step towards consolidating the whole law book for Wales.
The consolidation Bill will be a matter for the next Assembly in 2021, but the plan is that the Bill will help to crystallize a process that will give Wales law that is orderly, clear and accessible to all its citizens.
