Pete Insole's solution is very pragmatic - but will there be problems when the HER becomes statutory? What is actually "in" the HER using the method of just proliferating "layers"?

Peter, I don't think that it is essential to add them to the HER as monuments. but I for one have chosen to do so.

Can I ask why you need to add these features to the HER as monuments?
We don't have a local list, but as characterisation and Conservation Area Appraisal studies are carried out we are creating an Unlisted Building of Merit layer which will hopefully become a local list when resources are available.
Surely any polygons from appraisals, listed structures, HLC projects etc just sit in separate layers. We do add monuments (including Listed structures) to the HER dataset when there has been a site specific event that has recorded the building in some form. I know this goes back to recognition events (so frowned upon recently), but it works nicely for us. Of course you could argue that the character appraisal is the recognition event, but we ignore this.
And in case you're wondering how I know whether we have data in a specific layer relevant to a trawl request or site appraisal, we have an HER Spatial Catalogue that is the first point of any research.
We don't use HBSMR, but we find that the relationship classes and distributed geodatabase tools in ArcGIS do the job.
I'm more interested in how people are defining locally listed structures and eagerly await the EH guidance on this subject. Because I work directly with Conservation Officers we have had discussions about this issue mainly because as I was creating unlisted buildings of merit for one Conservation Area based on an officer's draft appraisal I noticed that almost every structure (rows and rows of late nineteenth century terraced housing) had been defined as unlisted buildings of merit. In a sense this is true, but we decided that to ensure that we didn't have the longest local list in the country we would define these elements as character buildings (Buildings that have value within the overall townscape context and contribute to the character of the area) and that unlisted buildings of merit would be defined as key buildings that contribute to the special interest of the area and may have specific architectural qualities, or local historic and cultural associations.
Not sure this helps, but I believe it is always useful to share individual approaches.

Thanks for the comments, but I'm still stuck really.
If I decide to create monuments records for all of the new Local Lists,
it means creating hundreds of new monument entries (whether recorded as
Mon or Building montypes) for no real gain as the vast majority are
houses built between 1880 and 1920. This also means that buildings with
almost identical features, but which are pebbledashed for example, would
not end up on the record; there is no good reason from an HER point of
view to exclude these but to try and include them would mean carrying
out a fairly large survey project.
However, if I decided to record the buildings/houses in blocks covering
several listings, then I would essentially be duplicating the work
carried out by the HLC and any future EUS we have carried out.
I'm sorely tempted at this stage to not have Monument records for
buildings identified by conservation area assessments and the local list
as it's just giving me a huge headache trying to get my head around how
to include them, and how to justify excluding "ugly" buildings which
aren't picked up by the surveys. Industrial buildings picked up by the
surveys are a little easier to filter as there are other surveys which
have already picked up many of the remaining buildings which have a
historic interest to the area.

Hi Mike
I think this may be on the cards. I recall hearing something via ALGAO
about HER's being invited to come up with projects for enhancement
relating to HPR, and one theme of that was specifically to do with
buildings IIRC
best wishes

Wouldn't it be nice if EH used some of its money for HER enhancement
arising out of HPR for improving historic buildings data on HERs.
