Art and Cultural Property – contested heritage: Powers and principles

In the first webinar of 39 Essex Chambers' Art and Cultural Property Series, Richard Harwood QC, David Sawtell, Catherine Dobson and Professor Antonia Layard discuss contested heritage: whether statues or other memorials should be removed because of the conduct of those depicted. 

The panel consider:

  • The legal controls in listed building and planning legislation
  • The likely form of the changes proposed in England by Robert Jenrick
  • What approaches can be taken to such items?
  • How does retaining or removing items relate to historic and architectural interest as well as current opinions?
