Wood, C.

Conflicts between building conservation and the environment - 1998 - RICS Building Conservation Journal (19) Spring 1998, 10-12(3) .

Discusses the competing demands of building conservation and the environment. Considers areas of conflict such as, the replacement of traditional windows with PVC-U double glazing, the support given to the use of indigenous materials by English Hertitage which may involve quarrying, and the prevention of work to roofs where bats are roosting during the summer months.
