SALVO is calling for the architectural salvage trade to lobby their MPs by 30 October 09 about a proposed new undemocratic law/rule. The government is planning to produce a new version of PPG15, now called PPS15 (Planning Policy Statement 15) which is out for consultation until 30 October 2009. It can be seen here
PPS15 Consultation
Thornton Kay has drafted some comments for which he is now seeking trade support. He would like every salvage dealer to write to the government and to put these points to their local MP so that they can have a voice in the decision. An important issue is that PPS15 is not a law debated in parliament.
The two main points are as follows:
Reusable materials arising from demolition and refurbishment need to be saved from demolition and refurbishment sites.
Confusion of listed building and planning officers about reuse is increasing global warming.

Reuse of the Week:
Christmas tree furniture
Ever wondered what to do with your old Christmas tree after the holiday season. . .
Fabien Cappello has come up with a truly genius idea of taking scrap wood from Christmas trees. The Royal College of Art graduate has harvested some timber from the 1.8 million Christmas trees discarded on the streets of London each January. Motivated by the vast unuse, he turned the trunks into timber and the branches into dowels. Cappello even worked the needles into a new compressed board material. Cappello says the project is not about waste collection or recycling, but rather how people integrate with urban environments.
