The HHA is particularly pleased that the Department recognises the role of private owners and has, consequently, sought their views as a contribution to this review.
The HHA would cautiously welcome the proposal to define by a map land considered necessary to protect the character and amenity of a protected building so long as the current flexible approach is maintained, the mapping carefully monitored at each individual case, owners are fully consulted and allowed a right of appeal.
The HHA would certainly support the proposals for more comprehensive information for owners, explaining what listing means and what they could do to protect and enhance their property, provided that this does not introduce additional and onerous financial burdens for the owner.

 Historic houses: fees for admission to view
A substantial part of the property should be open to visitors, but appropriate allowance should be made for utility and other rooms of little interest to the public, and for those houses where the delicate condition of the fabric prevents parts from being shown.
A lesser figure would be appropriate where the circumstances of the property do not permit this level to be achieved, for example, on account of its size, accessibility or the delicate condition of its fabric.
In practice, the net proceeds from special attractions, events, tea-rooms, sales brochures and souvenirs which can be associated with the showing of the property to the public should be taken into account in determining whether the `realisation of profits' test is satisfied, and should not be separately assessed to tax.
