BM2 Proposals affecting buildings of merit

Development will not be permitted if it would result in the demolition, loss or harmful alteration to buildings, structures and artifacts that are of local townscape, architectural or historic interest, including all buildings identified on the council’s Register of Buildings of Merit unless:

  • The building or structure is no longer capable of beneficial use, and its fabric is beyond repair; or
  • The proposed development would outweigh the loss or harm to the significance of the non-designated heritage asset; and
  • The proposed development cannot practicably be adapted to retain any historic interest that the building or structure possesses; and
  • The existing building or structure has been fully recorded; and

In the case of artifacts, they cannot practicably be retained in situ or, failing that, retained for re-use elsewhere within the site.
