  • Pdf of War Memorials
    Borough Heritage Heritage information - War Memorials in This leaflet is part of a series which aims to raise awareness of the heritage of Chelmsford Chelmsford Borough Design and conservation 01245 606294 [email protected] helmsfordBOROUGH COUNCIL May 2011 War Memorials in Chelmsford Borough War memorials are a reminder of those people from our local communities lost in conflicts throughout history. They are unique and a special part of the place and represent a community’s method of remembrance, providing a strong link to the past. Memorials tend to have architectural or artistic interest and are significant landmarks. The purpose of this report is to: - Identify and provide a record of war memorials in the Borough. - Raise awareness of the importance and diverse range of war memorials. - Recognise the significance of war memorials in the conservation of local heritage, within the planning system. - Recommend actions, including repairs, protection and landscape improvement. War memorials can include any monument created to those involved or affected by a conflict. The most prevalent and obvious form of memorial is the sculpture or cross, but they can take the form of plaques, furniture, rolls of honour, gardens, trees or buildings. In most cases the strong cultural significance of war memorials ensures their preservation. The most exceptional examples are statutory listed or benefit from other protection in the planning system, through being located within conservation areas or being identified on the Councils Register of Building of Local Value. Central Government Guidance (PPS5 – Planning for the Historic Environment) provides the basis for taking account of heritage significance in planning decisions.

This was followed, in 2004, by a review of these sites under the term “Wildlife Site”. The current, generally accepted term of “Local Wildlife Site” (LoWS) has now been adopted throughout Essex. Where a building, other property or location is used in the name of a LoWS it is not being implied that ownership of that LoWS is associated with the property named. It is merely a descriptive use for ease of locating a piece of land that might have no publicly recognised name or other obvious geographical location. The Local Wildlife Sites Partnership for Essex would be pleased to receive details of more widely recognised names where they exist. In the report, when a location is referred to as a Site (with a capital S) this is an abbreviation that means it is a Local Wildlife Site.
