Resolved:     That information be provided to LAPs and Parish Councils regarding the nomination process and that further discussion be held regarding the distribution of the current list.

A report was submitted requesting Cabinet to consider the recommendation of the Planning Committee to adopt the Register of Locally Important Buildings and Structures in Newcastle under Lyme Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).

A draft Register of Locally Important Buildings and Structure Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) had been agreed by Planning Committee in July 2011 for consultation purposes. The period for consultation had ended on 23^rd September 2011. The buildings and structures on the list would be protected by the Council and would be at levels below those classed as listed. A preliminary list existed at the moment but it was very dependant upon local action and knowledge and it was agreed that all LAPS and Parish Councils be made aware of the list and requested to submit any buildings of structures that they were aware of for inclusion.

A standard approach was required for the additional of buildings and structures to the list and there would be a nomination process followed by assessment from an independent panel working from a standard set of criteria. Further discussions would be held regarding whether to release the current list at a future meeting.

Resolved:     That information be provided to LAPs and Parish Councils regarding the nomination process and that further discussion be held regarding the distribution of the current list.
