Further to this, I would then suggest that
sites which have passed the fairly rigorous requirements of the NE SHINE
project criteria would qualify for local listing.

Agreed. But in order to include an archaeological monument in a local
list especially one that is below ground, you would need to have
sufficient evidence about to have a good idea of its probable extent.

Local lists can include all sorts of
sites, including buried archaeological deposits, if a council wishes them to do
so. Surely the main point about them is that any site on the local
list has been through a scrutiny process and has been placed on the list with
approval from the council. As such there is no problem with a local list
site being considered a heritage asset. The same presumably does not
apply to all sites on the HER (a question I asked at the HER Forum at

Hi Nick,
I think you've failed to consider the difference between a Local List
and an HER.
As someone else has pointed out Local Lists arose out of all those
buildings that were grade 3 listed prior to the lists being revamped in
the 1970s(?) after which grade 3 buildings were no longer regarded
as being of sufficient Architectural or Historic Interest to justify
their being designated nationally. Some planning authorities did not wish to
abandon all protection on these buildings to chose to maintain a local list of
these buildings. Other planning authorities stated to maintain a local list at
a later date, and EH is now suggesting that all planning authorities consider
doing the same.
-The crucial thing about all the buildings/structures on a local
list is that they are (in theory at least) upstanding things that could easily
be recognised and afforded some kind protection. All of which can be
regarded in planning terms as being a constraint and preserving in their
present condition in some form or other.
As we are all aware HERs have evolved out of the old SMRs and contain
of information about a wide range of entities from:-
-Archaeological monuments of national importance and which (for
the most part) are capable of having their extent defined in some way or other
by the presence of physical structures or earthworks, by historic boundaries,
by cropmarks, by the evidence from excavations, or by a combination of any
of the others. These clearly form constraints in planning terms and worthy of
preservation.
To
-Archaeological monuments and landscapes that are either
are of some importance but not enough to be regarded as being of
nationally importance (an example of which might be a badly damaged
moated site) or which could not be provided with a national
designation (an example of which be a mediaeval settlement site that
is still a thriving settlement). These may form constraints in planning terms,
but making a record of is more likely to be an option than
preservation as such.
To
-A whole raft of other entities, such as isolated
findspots, documentary references where there is uncertainly about the
location, reliability to what they mean, cropmarks that are not properly
understood. Any one of these might indicate the presence of a
monument, perhaps even one of national importance, but the present state of
information makes it difficult to describe them as constraints or
capable of preservation. The best that is likely to happen in a planning
context is to gain a further understanding of the
significance and possible extent of such an entity.
So Local Lists are much more focussed upon the desire, on behalf a
local planning authority, of conserving the character of a structure or an
area than a wide ranging HER is ever likely to be.

Hi Brian
but so would having
the building on the HER.
And that’s my point,
I don't see what Local Listing achieves that putting the record on the HER
doesn't. So whats the point?
That said, I take
Kens point that in a 2 tier authority the situation may be different, but we
are a unitary here, so from a purely selfish point of view, I am wondering if
there is any benefit in creating a local list.

Local listing may help in justifying a building recording
condition where planning consent is obtained for demolition or major
alterations.

Nick,
A local list should be used to flag
buildings (or whatever you decide to put on it as it's not exclusive to
buildings) that are of greater interest than your standard HER entry, and
therefore should receive more attention and require stricter planning control
than usual. The key to ensuring control of a local list is to Article 4
everything residential and to keep a four-yearly log of the buildings on the
list in order to catch any unauthorised alterations before the 5-year
enforcement deadline is reached. A local list also needs to be approved by the
Borough's planning committee and put in the LDF or SPG to show that the council
will take a hard line when making decisions on any planning application
affecting the monument/building - this floats well with most planning
inspectors who will back up the council's hard-line.
A local list should also make sure that
buildings etc of high importance are flagged up before any planning
applications are validated, which is especially important when trying to make
sure that the developer submits an assessment of significance.
As you know, I'm compiling our borough's
list, and although it only contains buildings at the moment, I will eventually
move archaeological sites onto it once the councillor's are used to the idea of
working with an updated and modern list.

Subject: Local Listing - a red
herring?
hi folks
I am not sure if
many of you have been doing this, but I have been looking at the draft criteria
for Local Listing and I am confused.
What is the point
of Local Listing?
I can see a
historic reason for their existence.
As I understand it
, Local Lists used to be purely buildings or structures (i.e. built environment
objects I suppose), and were a way of identifying those of interest which were
not Listed Buildings to ensure their protection.
To me, that sounds
very much like an SMR but for buildings. It is recording non-designated assets
to make sure they are protected.
Given that HER's
are supposed to now have a wider remit and should include Historic buildings,
it seems to me that the idea of a Local List is a bit redundant.
If something is
worth protecting, stick it on the HER and that will ensure it will get flagged
up during Planning or other land-use change processes and can be taken into
account.
As I have read the
document, the wording about what a Local List is seems to me to overlap
massively with what the HER does.
So why have a
Local List?
I can also see
disadvantages to the new Local Listing proposals.
The new regime
would need to include all aspects of the historic environment, which means
drawing up a Local List would be more involved and time consuming. And I can
see it being increasingly hard to argue for preservation of things not on a
Local List, if you have one, as the creation of the List is a de facto raising
of status of a particular Heritage Asset. The guidance says this isn't the
case, but the vary act of rating some things as worthy to be on a Local List
and others not will have that effect in practice I think.
So what is the
point of creating one? Couldn't you just say the Local list is anything on the
HER?
I may be missing
some things here, but would be interested to know what people think.
