Simplified heritage procedures and new tree-cutting rules

The act changes heritage protection rules by introducing notifications instead of permits for certain activities. This applies to works near heritage sites, changing building purposes, or placing advertisements. The new regulations also combine tree-cutting procedures on heritage sites with nature protection laws.
Key points
Notification replaces permit for works near heritage sites, changing building purposes, or placing advertisements – no objection from the conservator within 60 days means approval.
Tree and shrub removal on heritage sites now requires one permit instead of two – the heritage conservator also decides nature protection matters.
Financial penalties from 500 to 50,000 PLN introduced for works without notification or against the conservator's objection.
Heritage owners must watch the 2-year deadline – after expiry, activities must be re-notified if not started.
The regulations enter into force 6 months after publication, allowing time to prepare for new procedures.
