Will the Cabinet Minister review how the process of restoring historic buildings and gardens in Wales can be streamlined?
Answered by Trefnydd, Chief Whip and Cabinet Minister for Culture and Sport | Answered on 05/08/2026
Historic buildings, parks and gardens are central to Wales’s culture, character and identity. They contribute to our sense of place, and it is important that they are managed appropriately so that repair, restoration and sustainable reuse can take place while safeguarding their special qualities.
There are currently no plans for a review of the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023, but Cadw officials have an ongoing programme of updating and extending the suite of guidance and supporting conservation officers within the Local Authorities to support effective and efficient delivery.
