Decision details

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder:

A    Approved the commencement of public consultation on the Harlow Local List Update 2023 Shortlist, which is attached to this report as an appendix.

B    Noted the full results of the scoring process, which are detailed in the Background and Process and Nominations Scoring documents, attached to this report as appendices.

A    To allow members of the public and other relevant parties to comment on the shortlisted assets.

B    To ensure full understanding of the Local List process and the scores given to the nominated assets.

A    Not consulting on the Shortlist – this is not appropriate as national guidance for Local Lists, produced by Historic England, recommends a consultation should be held on shortlisted assets. Landowners and occupiers of buildings also need to be made aware of the buildings/structures being identified for possible inclusion on the list and have an opportunity to make comment.

B    Not updating the Local List – this is not appropriate as the Council has a statutory duty to review heritage issues, and the current Local List is due to be updated.

None.
