Buildings at Risk Register Review
A review into the impact of the Buildings at Risk Register into bringing vacant buildings back into use.
The BARR began in 1990 in response to concern at the growing number of listed buildings and buildings in Conservation Areas that were vacant and had fallen into a state of disrepair.
The BARR provides information about properties of architectural or historic merit throughout Scotland that are considered to be ‘at risk’. Since 2015, the BARR has been run as an in-house service within HES.
The primary aims of the review were:
- To report on the impact of the BARR in bringing buildings back into use, and
- Make evidence-based recommendations that will inform long-term decisions about the resource
Following the review of the Buildings at Risk Register the decision has been taken to pause the BARR in order to consider long-term options for its future. The existing BARR website will remain accessible as a resource, however it will not be updated and we're not accepting nominations for additions to the Register. Find out more
