Non Designated Heritage Assets Robert Scrimgeour Suffolk Coastal District Council

Heritage assets The Government says that a heritage asset is a “ building, monument, site, place, area or landscape identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of its heritage interest”

Two kinds of heritage asset • Designated heritage assets: these include listed buildings, scheduled monuments, conservation areas and registered parks and gardens. These are designated by the Government and enjoy statutory protection • Non-designated heritage assets: these are assets identified by the local planning authority including those on a local list

Suffolk Coastal has lots of designated heritage assets: • Over 2,500 listed buildings • 34 conservation areas • 7 registered historic parks and gardens • 1 protected wreck (off Dunwich) • 117 Scheduled Monuments

why identify locally important heritage? • The character of the District derives from the high quality of its historic buildings, villages and towns set within an outstanding landscape. • Locally important heritage – Victorian cottages, village pumps, bridges, WWII pillboxes, milestones, street nameplates – contributes – contributes significantly to this character.

Identifying local heritage will help its protection and avoid inadvertent loss: Regency House, Great Bealings

Church Farm, Snape

The Old Kennels, Easton

Police Station, Grundisburgh Road, Woodbridge

115 College Road, Framlingham

How to identify non-designated heritage assets? • The Government says that SCDC should have criteria in place which will allow it to identify non-designated heritage assets across the Suffolk Coastal District. • SCDC has now adopted criteria for the identification of non designated heritage assets that are buildings or structure as a Supplementary Planning Document

Criteria These are derived from Historic England guidance and best practice across the country: • Archaeological interest • Architectural interest • Artistic interest • Historic interest

Archaeological interest Recorded in the County Historic Environment Record • Depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey • Architectural interest Aesthetic value • Known architect • Integrity • Landmark status • Group value • Artistic interest Aesthetic value • Known designer • Historic interest Association • Rarity • Representativeness • Social and communal value •

In the Suffolk Coastal District the following locally significant uses may provide typologies of buildings and structures that can be identified as non- designated heritage assets: Agricultural; commemorative; commercial; culture, entertainment and leisure; resort tourism; domestic; educational; health and welfare; industrial; military; aviation; forestry; water management; landed Estates; fishing; brewing; law and local government; park and garden structures; ecclesiastical; transport; maritime and coastal defence; utilities, energy and communications; civil defences; street furniture and historic surfaces.

Please use these criteria for identifying what heritage is of local importance to you. This could be through your village plan, neighbourhood plan or making your own local list. Thank you all
