Q23 Non-designated heritage assets: local heritage list
- The council will maintain a list of non-designated heritage assets which it considers to be of local (or greater) significance. It will be known as the ‘local heritage list’. It will include:
- archaeology (archaeological priority areas);
- buildings and structures (local list); and
- designed spaces and landscapes (local landscape register).
- The objectives of maintaining the local heritage list are to:
- raise awareness of these assets and foster a greater appreciation of them;
- sustain or enhance their significance; and
- protect them and their settings.
- The council will:
- resist the destruction of assets on the local heritage list (or harm to their settings) and expect applicants to retain, preserve, protect, safeguard and, where desirable, enhance them when developing proposals that affect them;
- require proper investigation and recording of archaeological remains and publication and archiving of results to advance understanding; and
- apply London Plan policy HC1D.
- In accordance with London Plan Policy HC1, the council will require applicants for proposals which involve excavation or ground works on sites of archaeological potential to:
- submit an archaeological assessment and evaluation of the site, including the impact of the proposed development
- preserve, protect, safeguard and enhance archaeological monuments, remains and their settings in development, and seek a public display and interpretation where appropriate
- undertake proper investigation and recording of archaeological remains as an integral part of a development programme, and publication and archiving of results to advance understanding.
