The Council is required to have up to date evidence about the historic environment as part of the evidence base of the new local plan.  This includes the identification of the Borough’s heritage assets, whether designated (statutorily Listed) or non - designated and the contribution they make to the historic environment.  The inclusion of a building or structure on a local list will be a material consideration in decision making.

Not to identify local historic buildings of merit, but to rely upon the provisions of the Planning Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas Act 1990 to protect buildings under threat of demolition or alteration through the issue of a Building Preservation Notice (BPN).  However, the NPPF makes it clear that ‘Plans should set out a positive strategy for the conservation and enjoyment of the historic environment’ which is supported by the National Planning Guidance (NPPG) and by Historic England.

None.
