A local planning authority (LPA) can serve a building preservation notice (BPN) on the owner and occupier of an unlisted building, if the LPA considers the building to be of special architectural or historic interest and it is in danger of demolition or of alteration in such a way as to affect its character as a building of such interest.

This standard document is a BPN.

The standard document contains guidance notes (integrated drafting notes) within the text, drawing attention to specific issues. You can elect to view the standard document with, or without, the integrated notes by using the options in the "Actions" box in the top right hand corner of the screen.
