InformationList of Local Heritage Assets

It is often the features that are not significant on a national scale that make the biggest contribution to the distinctiveness of a local area. Some of these local, or ‘undesignated’ heritage assets may meet the required criteria to be placed on a list of local heritage assets. This can have a positive effect on the planning process and be beneficial for local places and communities.

We have recently produced a Guide to the Listing of Local Heritage Assets.  This is intended to help local communities identify and assess features of character with a local heritage value. The guide was adopted in June 2019 following a public consultation.

The guide includes an assessment procedure on pages 9-10, which explains how nominations for the list may be made, through parish or town councils, local organisations or ward members.  It also includes an assessment form on pages 15–18 which sets out what is needed and may be helpful when gathering information for a proposed heritage asset.

Nominations for the list should be made by completing the online form.

What happens next?

When you have submitted a nomination, you will receive an acknowledgement and a case number. We will notify you when a decision has been made and publish details of the decision on this webpage. Details relating to data protection are provided below.
