Cabinet Report on Rotherham Local Heritage List (17 October
2022) – Item 61

Resolved Point 3:
That Cabinet approve delegation to the Head of
Planning and Building Control, in consultation with the Cabinet
Member for Jobs and the Local Economy, to include, amend or delete
heritage assets on the Rotherham Local Heritage List.
 

Decision:

Approve the inclusion of the
Rotherham assets in the South Yorkshire Local Heritage List into
the Rotherham Local Heritage List.
Agree that the locally
significant heritage assets identified in the Borough’s
adopted Neighbourhood Plans also form part of the Rotherham Local
Heritage List.

Reasons for the
Decision:

The local heritage list
approval and integration into planning policy would contribute to
the robustness of the Local Plan, in line with national guidance
and the approach of other South Yorkshire local
authorities.
 

Details of alternative
options considered and rejected:

Do not include the Rotherham
assets in the South Yorkshire Local Heritage List as part of the
Rotherham Local Heritage List
 
Not including the valued assets
would mean a significant gap in what is a South Yorkshire project.
These items have been identified by members of the public and
agreed by the South Yorkshire Assessment Panel as meriting
inclusion. The Council would not be abiding by the relevant central
government advice and the previous commitment to maintaining an
up-to-date system. The heritage assets identified in the
Neighbourhood Plans would be the only assets in the Rotherham Local
Heritage List and they are limited to certain neighbourhood areas
within the borough.
