SP6: Managing Bexley’s heritage assets
- The Council will manage Bexley’s heritage and archaeological assets, whilst seeking opportunities to make the most of these assets; including adapting to and mitigating the effects of climate change. This will enhance the local sense of place and support the revitalisation and development of the borough, including promoting the visitor economy. This will be achieved by:
- promoting the borough’s heritage assets, such as Lesnes Abbey, Danson Mansion, Hall Place and Gardens, Crossness Beam Engine House and Red House;
- reviewing the status of existing and identifying new heritage and archaeological assets;
- applying the NPPF and London Plan requirements for development proposals affecting heritage assets to conserve and enhance the significance of heritage assets, their settings, and the wider historic environment, and the requirements to protect assets from development that is likely to adversely impact on the significance, integrity, character or appearance of those assets or their settings;
- protecting the internal features of Council owned non-designated heritage assets where they contribute to the asset’s significance; and,
- e. supporting historic restoration schemes through partnership working and seeking funding to enhance and use heritage and archaeological assets in an appropriate and sympathetic manner.
