The Principal Heritage Officer introduced the report which set out the review of the Local Heritage List in line with the Heritage Strategy Action Plan.

The Chair invited Members to make comments, and these included:

·      The proposal was a brilliant idea and a good solution;

·      a protocol needed to be in place so that Members could check progress;

·      there was a process for getting sites and buildings put onto the local heritage list, but it was a long process and items were often missed; and

·      hoped that the new procedure could be implemented to make the process work more efficiently. 

Councillor Mike Baldock moved the following amendment to the recommendations: That the Policy and Resources Committee be given updates to note at future meetings to see the additions made to the Local Heritage List. This was seconded by Councillor Julien Speed, and on being put to the vote agreed by Members.

Resolved:

(1)   That the protocol at Appendix II of the report to allow the urgent designation of assets to the Local Heritage List be agreed and for update reports to be noted at future Policy and Resources Committees.

(2)   That delegated authority be given to the Head of Place to enact the protocol.
