  • Local List Introduction
    List of Locally Important Buildings in Hertsmere 2016 List of Locally Important Buildings in Hertsmere 2016 List of Locally Important Buildings in Hertsmere 2016 1 Introduction and Policy Background LOCAL POLICY BACKGROUND Hertsmere Borough Council recognises that the protection of Hertsmere’s unique stock of buildings that contribute significantly to the quality of the built environment need to be given a high priority. Therefore in response to Policy E18 of the Hertsmere Local Plan adopted in 2003 (page 162) a list of locally important buildings was drafted between February 2006 and May 2007. 2003 LOCAL PLAN POLICY E18 ‘Buildings of Local Interest’ This Saved Policy states; “From time to time, as resources permit, the council will compile a list of buildings of local architectural or historic interest. They will be subject to the same conservation standards as statutorily listed buildings in so far as planning controls allow. Development proposals affecting a building included on the list will be expected to respect the appearance and character of the building and its setting”. 2015 LOCAL PLAN POLICY ‘SADM 30 – Heritage Assets’ Recent policy background to locally listed buildings comprises ‘SADM 30 – Heritage Assets’ from HBC’s ‘Site Allocation and Development Management Policies Plan’, published July 2015, now submitted for Examination. This sits under the Adopted Core Strategy Policy CS14 (Adopted January 2013). However, SADM 30 should be used in conjunction with the earlier Policy E18, which currently carries more weight than SADM 30. It states; “List of Locally Important Buildings – Development proposals affecting a building included on this list will be expected to maintain or improve the appearance and character of the building, and its setting.
