Purpose

To adopt a local heritage list that has been complied following a public consultation exercise. These are assets which do not meet the threshold for formal designation (such as Listed Buildings) but nonetheless have local heritage value. Non designated heritage assets have a degree of heritage significance which merits consideration in planning applications.

Decision

(a)       That the list of local heritage assets be approved and be published on the Dorset Council’s Website.

(b)       That authority be delegated to the Director of Planning, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning, to approve any future modifications to the list.  

Reason for the decision

To approve and publish a list of local heritage assets which can be used to inform future planning decisions.
