Do you think Nottingham City Council should hold a Local List?

Yes (80) 98%

No (2) 2%

Please explain your response to Q1 The formal criteria for national level listing often exclude buildings that are of local significance and value - locally this community value is of equal or greater importance than the view of a national body. A local list would help to recognise local peoples' heritage. It might make developers, councillors and members of the public take more interest in their heritage and look after it better. . It would present a further barrier to development. Nottingham should be a future looking, dynamic, changing City, not one that harks backwards to past times. Good for learning and tourism The heritage of Nottingham is important to the people of Nottingham. To better appreciate the complexities of local heritage i think its a good idea to have a list of important builduings to consider for planning purposes To recognise the significance of buildings and places to the city and enable them to be considered and protected more easily. Listed building regime already exists. What additional benefits does a local list bring (and costs)? Reliable continuity It would bring to the attention of everyone all the historic sites we have in Nottingham that people may not be aware of. Nottingham has lost many significant building over the years because there has been a lack of robust protection for our heritage. I think a local list is a useful tool, along with national listing, to help develop strong planning strategies in respect of interesting, important or unusual buildings, landscapes and features. take into account purely local significance enhance tourism by showing range of properties within the City allow for changes in future of what is thought to be worth preserving keep decisions about things of local significance local

Nottingham Local List Please explain your response to Q1 Many important buildings and sites have already been lost to planners in Nottingham. A local list may go some way to redress the balance Yes, but a carefully agreed list. It would be too easy for a minority group to try and sway what goes on the list. Sometimes even for listed buildings those included are not really good buildings to keep. Nottingham's heritage is very important.Once lost, historic buildings are lost for ever. I feel it is vital to preserve for following generations. Previous generations in the City Council did away with vast areas #, such as Drury Lane and drove the vile Maid Marion Way through historic street patterns for example. We need to make sure we don't lose any more of our heritage architecture We have some great spaces/ buildings/ monuments which should be preserved for the people of Nottingham as they have a significance beyond the national criteria Too many properties and landscapes are lost because the area or the property is not 'listed' in the accepted sense. too many buildings of character are left to deteriorate or are demolished without permission by developers or the like. A local list would be a good starting point for awareness of these buildings. Their condition could be closely monitored and maybe with greater awareness other/more parties could have a beneficial interest in them It will help know what is in the area Recognition of the most important aspects of our city from it's residents is a representative way in which to decide and promote them which should be a worthwhile investment. To stop developers from ruining beautiful / individual architecture of the past (or present) and turning Nottingham into a bland boring city of monotone 'flat-pack' buildings. There are numerous buildings which may not be of national importance but may be of local interest due to eg being of an architectural style that is uncommon locally such as Art Deco or Arts and Crafts. A city steeped in history should protect it's buildings and significant Sites of interest. Some buildings are significant to local people - but may be overlooked by national bodies. Because its our heritage The council should do its utmost to list and preserve as much of Nottingham's historic infrastructure whether it be buildings, landscape or archaeology. A classic example of where this has not been done in the past is the Great Central railway through Nottingham and its wanton destruction in the 1960's, And then 40 years later parts of it have at great expense been replaced through the city, I am thinking mainly of the tram route out to Phoenix park and to Clifton (where there was a perfectly good bridge over the Trent that was demolished only to then have to replace and upgrade the toll bridge further downstream to take the trams, Also the route under the Victoria centre would have been ideal for a better transport network than we have now serving Arnold West Bridgeford Ruddington Basford and the like This is just the tip of the iceberg in regard to what needs listing at at least local level as the city expands too many fine buildings are neglected We have lost a lot of beautiful buildings in Nottingham, I would love to be able to see a lot more saved Not all buildings/sites can be included in heritage sites or listed but are important to the history of the city and should be preserved It is important to have the information so the nominated sites can be well maintained it can engender a more positive outlook about Nottingham It makes local citizens more aware of buildings of merit and of the need to do what we can to preserve them. It therefore also helps to develop civic pride; the best examples of our built environment are more likely to be valued, cared for and passed on as a cherished legacy to the next generation. To protect Nottingham buildings of significance so that we never again demolish these buildings like the Victoria station!!!!!!! pure legal vandalism and the Black Boy hotel

Nottingham Local List Please explain your response to Q1 So that if any buildings are on the list and owners want to alter or demolish the buildings (like maid Marion Way was) then it will be instantly highlighted Great citys need to have a clear identity - Nottingham has some great buildings, we need to do what we can to make sure Nottingham doesnt turn in to just another city... Capturing details of buildings of historical or architectural importance and attempting to preserve them, or maintain them in a suitable manner; enabling decisions regarding other building projects to be sympathetic to the history and design decisions; preserving Nottingham's history and hidden gems To identify and acknowledge hidden gems in the City Why not we have history here The Local List was prepared originally by the City Planning Department about 1995-6. I obtained a copy, while the planners lost or mislaid theirs. I have brought it out from time to time. When Conservation Officers moved on none of their successors showed any interest. As some one who kept the flame alive I am disappointed that the Heritage Strategy has claimed it. In a similar vein the compil- ation of a Conservation Area for Bulwell should be (as with other C.A.s) part of the Conservation Of- ficer's job schedule. Is nothing ORIGINAL planned for the Heritage Strategy? Even canal walks/inform- ation boards I was involved with years ago. it could be used as evidence to preserve Nottingham local interest buildings that are not covered by statutory listing. Sell Nottingham to the world Nottingham City planners have already allowed too much of the city's heritage to be downgraded, degraded and lost. A great idea for anyone wishing to look at, especially students and schoolchildren - old and young too it will make people more aware of issues,in which they probably feel strongly about,but did not know things where happening and what they could /can contribute too. The planning authority and the local community should have a means of considering the affect of demolition of locally important buildings etc would have whether they have formal status or not. To better protect Nottingham's heritage and history assets from "quick buck" (and frankly thick) developers It allows a more direct information of the historical assets and portfolio of buildings that are not immediately state-related Heritage is an important way to look at both our history and how we shape our future. Hence I feel that a local list would be a useful tool in establishing the significance of buildings and places of historical interest. Formulating and adopting the local list will provide an opportunity for increasing public and professional awareness of the value of heritage to Nottingham's built environment. through public consultation and partnership working, the production of the local list will provide a better understanding of the nature of the undesignated heritage assets within the urban centre, allowing people to value them and interact with them, and ultimately preserve, conserve or otherwise utilise them for public benefit. they have strong economic and social potential in regenerating areas through their adaptive re-use and conservation. the local list will allow the council to adopt this as SPD so that they become material considerations in planning decisions. To offer some level of protection to buildings/sites that might otherwise be lost through commercial development, or lack of knowledge. It's important to preserve the heritage and history of Nottingham

Nottingham Local List Please explain your response to Q1 Like most cities today Nottingham is best appreciated by looking up as developers seek to develop tasteless, homogenised facades at ground level. We should celebrate the intricate, sometimes quirky details of our local design environment and by highlighting it, resist the vandals who would draw our attention to neon-lit ground levels displays of mobile phones and gym equipment all made in the Far East Understanding local history and helping resident identify with a local shared culture/past is important for a sense of belonging. The heritage of the city is crucial to its identity. The past is what makes the City what it is today. Designations such as Scheduling and Listing have gone so far to protect archaeological remains and significant buildings, but more is needed. To ensure a record is kept of sites and buildings There are a large number of buildings which wouldnt meet listed criteria.Alist would ensure preservation of these and promote greater knowledge of local history and heritage all adding to the cultural richness of the city Local heritage is important. Nottingham has suffered from some appalling decisions regarding preserving and protecting its heritage in the past. Preserve our buildings The history and heritage of and in Nottingham is not promoted to the level its should be. A local list is one piece of a jigsaw of promoting the rich history of our wonderful city I think this would raise greater awareness of local heritage, beyond buildings already recognised as 'listed'. Not only would this help to protect the look and feel of the city, it may help improve appreciation of the existing environment, preserving and enhancing heritage, alongside future development of the city This appears to be the recommended way of ensuring that due consideration is given to our architectural heritage when planning decisions are made. As some buildings are not considered important enough to be 'listed buildings' as prescribed by current legislation - a list held by Nottm City Cncl would at least ensure that the local authority is aware of a particular site/location; and seek opinion from specialist societies and organisations who are experienced in structures that should be considered for special reasons. I am a member of Nottingham Civic society and have commented to them that the local list, or blue plaques system is something that should be incorporated into a tourism trail. There is currently very limited information from a heritage and cultural point of view for visitors ad indeed residents to learn about the city. It is also clear that heritage is crucial in the planning process something which has clearly been long overlooked in Nottingham and appears still to be having limited consideration in most proposals. Certain buildings are repositories of tangible and/ or intangible heritage, and as a result, must be looked after. The protection offered only to those listed buildigins is simply not enough. It is important to retain important and historic local buildings and sites for the benefit of future generations. It will help give weight and value to the city's historic environment and make it attractive to both residents and visitors. Because it gives the community of Nottingham the opportunity to define it's own locally important buildings/heritage - and together we may highlight some really important local 'gems' that wouldn't otherwise receive the necessary protection. Once something is lost, it's lost for ever. Yes, I agree this would help recognise buildings that are significant to Nottingham and local communities. We've lost too many heritage assets over the years and Nottingham's character and sense of history has been diluted as a result. A list will help to identify local heritage assets, however this must be based on credible and robust research and not personal preference for a particular building to be protected.

Nottingham Local List Please explain your response to Q1 To protect buildings and features that are of significant importance to Nottingham and its communities. Some places may not be considered worthy of the national list, but are still of local importance and need protection from wanton demolition by developers.

Do you think Nottingham City Council should require owners to apply for planning permission for the demolition of Locally Listed Buildings or structures outside conservation areas?

Yes (77) 95%

No (4) 5%

Please explain your response to Q3 This is a key protection to avoid the summary demolition of buildings - which is usually carried out by owners seeking to maximise private profit at the expense of local value and heritage. Planning laws exist to ensure the balance between private profit and community value is maintained. The city has already lost far too many historical and architecturally significant buildings. Future growth and prosperity depend on the socio-political environment being agile and responsive to change. Adding bureaucracy slows us down and makes us less responsive. So that proper consideration can be given. To preserve buildings that have local or community significance the list would have to be properly managed so people / buyers/owners are made aware of this prior to the property purchase It is important that proper consideration is made. Listed buildings and conservations areas exist for this purpose. To ensure wider interests are considered, although I believe the approval hurdles for demolition must NOT be set too high and pander to excessive nimbyism/protectionism else the city will stop moving forward Yes, absolutely. We need to preserve our heritage. There is far too much knocking down and rebuild these days. Even relatively modern buildings can still be part of our heritage. It is not only conservation areas or nationally listed buildings that add importance and interest to our cityscape. We need to take more care of local buildings and features that are important to local people. Allows local considerations to be put into planning decisions what is point of saying something is significant if it has no more protection than any non descript structure Without authority, Local Labour already does abuse planning legislation. It gives more protection to important buildings and structures, preventing them from being lost for good If the building has been carefully screened for inclusion in the Locally Listed List, but it may be that when this situation arises, there is a requirement of the council to look at whether listing the property is still valid. Also, if the cost of refurbishing the building means that the building would remain empty and/ or fall into disrepair then development should be considered. Pretty obvious.If not, then anyone could just pull down important buidlings/areas in the cityscape. Otherwise building etc will simply disappear and it will be too late. Often their is an assumption that a building etc is listed and then this proves not to have been the case but after the event. It would help to protect sites that would be 'historic' in the future ... look at how much we lost in the 60s and 70s to fulfil the concept of 'modern'

Nottingham Local List Please explain your response to Q3 Once a building has been demolished there's usually no going back. Too often demolition is just a cheap and profitable option for maybe just one or a small number of people without any consideration to others who may have a point of view. I've no doubt tourism will become a greater benefit to Nottingham over time; one thinks of Drury Hill as a lost gem. Never saw it but it's often mentioned To be at peace with the locals I thought this was a legal requirement To stop developers from ruining beautiful / individual architecture of the past (or present) and turning Nottingham into a bland boring city of monotone 'flat-pack' buildings. There isn't that much point in having a local list if it doesn't involve some extra protection for the buildings concerned. We need protect they way buildings and sites look as all new buildings lack character So that the authority can be certain about the significance or otherwise of the building. There would be no protection for these buildings Just because a structure is not in a conservation area does not mean a building or structure should not be saved otherwise you would have a sterile conservation area and everything else outside that area is fair game for demolition. Each structure should be taken on merit or in context to its surroundings not as an isolated issue look at how much we have lost already, the Black boy being one example Yes because people that live in the area know what it means to that area To protect our city's heritage Too many historical buildings have already been demolished It would enable the various parties that would be involved ensuring all possibilities have been looked at. It offers at least some protection to buildings of merit that happen to be outside of conservation areas. See answers to previous question It will stop indiscriminate requests for demolition when any building can be restored back to it's former glory, but it might cost the owner abit more to sort the building out. If the owner knows that they need to carry out regular basic maintenance, and can't leave a building to fall in to disrepair they will know that they won't obtain permission to demolish it when it becomes unstable. There needs to be a balance - allowing the city to grow and adapt - but there are some people who dont have the city's best interests at heart, we need to make sure we protect our identity ... just look at many of the building demolished / built in the 60s and 70s! Consensus on if there will be a loss of a regarded building; seems to be little point in having a list if it isn't 'enforced' to a degree with valid arguments put forward as to why demolition is necessary They should Yes, but only after the need has been expressed to the owner. The Council must start the process. it could be used as evidence to preserve nottinghams local interest buildings that are not covered by statutory listing. They are our heritage As Q1 Too many great buildings and areas have been demolished we do need to conserve our heritage these people could be strangers to our city,and do not care,as long as it is not in their town!!!,besides there is too much of banging up buildings,the sky line in Nottingham is horrid,when trinity square was demolished,it was amazing,the sky was opened up,it was like we had fresh air..look at it know!! See q2 As before

SnapSnap snapsurveys.com Nottingham Local List Page:7

Nottingham Local List Please explain your response to Q3 Yes, but it depends on the importance of the new projects to be implemented and how frequently people use the buildings that are to be demolished It is important for future generations to be able to preserve historic buildings and that they are protected from development projects for example were such a building may be in the way. once gone, heritage assets are lost forever. they are a finite and non-renewable resource. In environmental terms they represent a source of embodied energy which is more efficient to retain, repair and conserve rather than demolish and put in land-fill. their retention and adaptive re-use aligns with the sustainable development agenda as required by NPPF. there should be a thorough, justifiable and proportionate decision-making process in allowing their demolition which is transparent to all stakeholders, whether public or private. Same reasons as before There needs to be some watch over what is being demolished, too many important buildings have already been lost. Compare the Primark building with the old Black boy that used to be there and behold what comes of unchecked development. Because they will have been identified as being locally important/significant that means we can't just ignore that recognition. A sensible look needs to be taken to weigh up impact on local communities as well as practical and economic views, too. Buildings of local significance require special consideration and should not be demolished without full consideration. The owners only own the buildings at the time of their planned demolition. The buildings could go on to be used for generations to come. To ensure we retain good local sites and buildings in the city. To retain historic featues and street scene of the city...we lost so much in the 60s All applications for demolition of any building deemed important to a locality should be considered. It is particularly important with more recent buildings that may not always be popular with the general public but which are of architectural merit. Demolish listed buildings ? No We have lost so many important and beautiful building s in the county and they have been replaced in large by monstrosities Definitely. Nottingham has lost far too many historic and architecturally significant buildings in the past, as well as the wholesale demolition of historic areas, all in the name of progress. Similar threats still hang over other buildings, such as those from our industrial past (Player's bonded warehouses or the Horizon Factory, for example) or the Central Police and Fire Station. That would be the logical consequence of having a Local List. This would ensure that all the criteria was investigated if a specific building/structure was deemed of local importance: unsure As before, not only listed buildings should be preserved and looked after. And demolition should be very carefully assessed, being such a drastic measure. Without this requirement it makes local and national lists toothless. Otherwise, what is the point of having the list if things can be so easily demolished or removed? Yes, I think the planning permission process would give local people an option to comment on the proposals and have their views taken into account. It's currently too easy to demolish without full consideration of the wider impact. Historic England's guidance is clear that heritage assets outside conservation areas still enjoy relatively strong protection. Adding this addition level of protection would only further stifle an already bureaucratic planning system.

Nottingham Local List Please explain your response to Q3 It is possible for individual sites to be of sufficient importance to be saved, irrespective the buildings surrounding them.

Do you have any comments regarding the Local List Selection Criteria? There are 14 men mentioned and only one woman as historical figures, association with whom would add significance. What does this tell us about Nottingham's priorities? Must make this more equal. Significance in "the story of Nottingham" is too broad a geographic area for local listing - a building could be crucial in the story of a particular local area without claiming a wider significance for the city as a whole. The age category criteria are becoming obsolete - surviving buildings from the 1960s are at most risk of demolition despite their local significance, modern buildings have a shorter lifespan and are more vulnerable. Age criteria need to be shifted forward by at least 20 years to be of interest to younger generations. You need to include parks and public open spaces The selection date of pre-1840 should be replaced with pre-1901. The rarity criterion should be rewritten to reflect the fact that although some types of building may currently be considered common, many such examples have already been lost and are continuing to be lost and will soon not be common. Also, areas with a lot of these buildings should be designated as conservation areas. Other than that we shouldn't have any because we shouldn't have one, no. I support this list No no - looks good to me Historic and significance views should be included so that any changes to these can be considered, as well as specific buildings. Also small local areas of historical significance. A "360" approach is required to ensure that buidligns are not sterilized and condemned to neglect. Economic, social and sustainability issues must be balanced against desire to protect (Typed following before seeing you already have some Selection Criteria)... my thoughts.... Buildings (or other) likely to: - attract visitors to view (even from the kerbside) - contribute to a distinctive and positive street scene enjoyed by passers by - local history significance/tell an interesting story - good example of type (don't need to save all of a type, just those which exemplify) Seems a well thought out list of criteria but it will still be open to how it is interpreted. For instance would it have allowed yourselves, the council, to still have knocked down the old historic Victoria Baths? That would be my acid test. It seems detailed and thorough but it would take more study to understand and comment on this. Seems very thorough The selection criteria is too wide in its scope. As someone reading the criteria for the first time, the wording could allow all manner of buildings to be argued for inclusion which would be a t the detriment of purposeful development whether this be allowing certain physical changes to the building or com- plete demolition and total redevelopment of the site. There must be a balance between protecting good examples of historical buildings and total re-development of a site.

Nottingham Local List Do you have any comments regarding the Local List Selection Criteria? I think the list of criteria includes the majority of things I would expect. I also have faith in the Civic Society to know what to include. They should have value and significance to the people of Nottingham even though they may not satisfy national listing eg because the interior isn't in tact eggs would be Trent Bridge cricket pavilion, The Loggerheads pub. I feel trees could be included, especially those planted at a specific time or place, or trees over a certain age. This could protect areas from becoming hacked down, flat places (nothing higher than hip height) that seem to appear from once diverse planted areas. Suddenly boring to look at and of no use whatsoever to wildlife or biodiversity. criteria looks comprehensive Weldone Generally seems to be OK - my only concern is that the criteria seems to put a lot of emphasis on physical nature and much less on cultural significance - as an example: nightclubs have to prove their worth, but 'Ritzy / Oceana....' nightclub has a long culural association with Nottingham youth dancing and enjoyment. Historic transport infrastructure should be included as a category, such as GCR of Nottm Suburban Railway remains, old tram works etc. Arboretum, Bulwell bogs, market square, around the castle and all loca Parks. On the list under Transport there is mention of viaducts etc but this should also include trackbeds which as I have seen only today in the city can become major assets in terms of wildlife conservation,multi user paths, traffic free arteries and also possible future routes for tram extensions etc all these should be protected not just viaducts. How can one find a copy of the local list already published ? Theirs a building I would love to see on a list because it keeps our area still like the village,that it was No, I think they are appropriate No I can't think of any at the moment Only the general comment that these should not be so tightly drawn that the criteria become too restrictive. Oh GCR railway arches were demolished just prior to Midland station, it should never have been knocked down No - selection criteria will need to include some buildings that are recent even though they might look insightly, but are part of the recent history. looks good to me No Besides the usual expected associated factual information as far as possible follow the guide lines for national selection and the criteria that 'English Heritage' published. (I have used English Heritage as a name as most of my dealings were with that body) its all very well provided the council/officers enforce it and councillors/committees dont over rule it. or let themselves be bullied by the developers. Nottinghams lost most of its old buildings to characterless, poorly designed new buildings which are often too tall, out of character, take no account of surroundings, and of high density. All because of greed and lack of investment for good design by landowners, employment of average architects and a council/government desperate to kick start the economy. They blamed the planners of the 1960s for the 'concrete monstrosities', well just wait another 30 years and see what they will be saying about the poor quality buildings that are being designed by current architects/developers and allowed by the current planners/councillors. None

Nottingham Local List Do you have any comments regarding the Local List Selection Criteria? I do believe the Nottingham City Council will preserve what would be deemed to be of great interest to the people of Nottingham and surrounding areas, including visitors from home and overseas there should not be any criteria...everything should be out there..and NO decisions should be made before putting anything out there,as people lose faith No. Looks comprehensive and meaningful to Nottingham. You guys really put a lot of thinking into it to produce a 9 pages document. All seems to be covered, but I did not find information on who is going to decide on matters that are not so well cobered by the present document... and how much people will have a say on these special situations The selection criteria seems to be appropriate. No. it is in line with the national guidance on the production of local lists. Not sure this survey explains what they are - it's written in too bureaucratic a style for the "man in the street". Would like to know what powers N.C.C would have to hold owners/developers to account. No. It's a good comprehensive list it is quite comprehensive No Buildings and spaces ( including parks and green spaces, cemetaries) of local architectural /historical reference . Contributes to knowledge and representation of the story of Nottingham . I am very pleased to see the inclusion of modernist building and particularly prefabs included on the list. No Who will sit on the panel? Will there be independent selectors on the panel? No. This is a very good suggestion as there are local societies and NGO's who have interests in such matters who are far more experienced in their research than the average individual: no I think it is a very useful tool, especially for those who might not be acquainted with heritage terminology and approaches. The starting point could be the critera for national listing, and then establishing how local listing would differ from this. The draft civic society list is a good starting point for buildings. Possibly nomination by anyone but acceptance by a panel or a regular list of suggestions online or in local library for people to vote on. Please, please, please do not make the criteria too restrictive. Heritage value is sometimes not something that can be determined by committee. It is not clear how the selection criteria is to be consistently applied, or how many of the criterion an asset should be expected to meet before it is added to the list. For example, a building may date to c.1840 but be heavily altered. The criteria does not deal with state of completeness or ability to appreciate an asset as originally intended. I think very strongly that more more focus and importance needs giving to the social importance. This should not just be a secondary factor to the quality of heritage fabric.

Nottingham Local List Do you have any comments about the selection and application process for the Local List? There is no appeals process? Listing would have significant impact on building owners, rejection impacts the applicant. The process for challenging decisions needs setting out. Any associated documents should be written in plain English. No. I support this process No no Should include local non council experts and community representatives. Again wishes and sentiments need to be weighed up against economic, social and sustainable realities Not really...except who do you decide who is on the Selection Panel? Seems ok I would like to see a procedure for challenging or reviewing the decision. Where will the selection panel be drawn from? How representative of local and specialist interests will there be any appeal? Blenheim allotments was specifically developed to supplement local people food source. Bulwell Hall Park was in 1908 given to the people of Nottingham as a source to escape the coal mines. Nottingham's residents had free access to the whole park. Balance !! Have a significant number of local people asked for this to be retained ? Would they be prepared to buy and maintain the building to retain it ? This looks v good. No - other than above No, as previous question none Fantastic Application is too difficult - you say that anyone (man in the street) can nominate a building, but how many 'man in the street' could honestly tell you the OS co-ordinates for the building they love ! ! Why must photographs be 'in the public realm' - many people have digital or hard copy photographs for personal pleasure - - and of course there is the question of ''what is the public realm'' ? after all, Facebook is open to the public, Twitter, etc etc etc The process for application must be user-friendly if you want it to be open to the public otherwise it'll only be used by the same old groups that currently decide. Who would be on the selection panel? How would conflicts of interest be avoided? In the past the biggest problem has been the City Council planning, and often succeeding, to demolish historic buildings eg Victoria Embankment Bandstand, Victoria Baths, Meadows cricket pavillion. How will the process provide assurance that the City Council will not abuse its position to avoid locally listing buildings where it sees development opportunities? No thank you This document doesnt state what disciplines are involved in the make up of the panel i.e. who is on it and what local, historical or architectural knowledge do the panel have ? Some of this looks to be shutting the stable door after the horse has already bolted ? No, again I feel this is appropriate No No No

Nottingham Local List Do you have any comments about the selection and application process for the Local List? All significant local buildings should be on the list No- your schedule appears good although it will have to be updated or amended occasionally when some unscrupulous owners, architects, lawyers etc find out how to "work" the regulations No I think over the years enough has been said and done about selection. At one stage Nottingham claimed to have more listed buildings than...... (A number of towns and cities were used for comparison) None Need to see what is prposed for the list Be good to have a forum yes...don't presume!!we live here this is our heritage... Who will maintain the list and take decisions on inclusion? Will this remain with Nottingham civic society or become local authority duty? Who is the selection panel and do they have commercial/personal interest in what concerns the candidate buildings? The selection and application process also seems to relish appropriate. Same comment as before - can we have Plain English please? Not qualified to comment Whilst residential properties may well appear on the list, the impact on residents must be made entirely transparent either at point of purchasing the property or it being Listed. There must only be minimal impact on residents and common sense and practicalities must prevail in any planning application decisions. No Establish an independent oversight board comprising academics architects historians business citizens heritage organisations etc reps .board to agree and list applications from owners and also local community nominations..Board needs to independent of city council and can seek funding from wide range of sources to fund its work. No. No No No No. There does not appear to be any detail accessible here that I have been able to read regarding selection and application procedure: no I think it looks appropriate, but some people may need support in preparing it. It's a relatively convoluted, formal process which seems to me to be likely to discourage involvement by individuals (or even community groups) who would not have the wherewithal to prepare an application that conforms to the criteria. Why can the process not be made simpler, so that the average man, woman or child on the street can submit requests at their own level of understanding and ability? How many people outside of specific interest groups such as the Civic Society have the knowledge, background or ability to be able to express their thoughts in this way? How many people who might, for example, have language or learning difficulties (or other issues such as early symptoms of dementia), yet who have strong emotional feelings about, or bonds with, a particular asset, will want or be able to put themselves through this process in order to be able to express their feelings?
