Proposed nominations for the Local List of Heritage Assets (March 2024)

Activity closed. Results published.

Background

The local list is a list of heritage assets within the district considered by the public (and West Berkshire Council) as having special local architectural, archaeological or historic interest. Locally-listed heritage assets are not on Historic England's National Heritage List for England. 

A heritage asset is described in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) as: 'A building, monument, site, place, area or landscape identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decision, because of its heritage interest. Heritage assets include designated heritage assets and assets identified by the local planning authority (including Local Listing).'
