We aim to establish local heritage lists for:
- Dorset Council
- Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council
We want to:
- set clear criteria and standards for inclusion
- encourage communities to highlight what heritage they value near them
The lists should be an active, evolving record of assets with heritage significance.
We need a clear and consistent approach to:
- make sure we do not to undermine or devalue those assets included on the list
- ensure transparent and justified results
- make sure the process may continue long after this initial project has concluded
It is important that the nominations come from the communities themselves. This will help us understand what matters to you.
Our process:
- you can nominate local heritage assets to be included on the local list
- we will assess all assets that have been put forward. This will create a list of recommended assets for the local lists
- we will consult the public about the list of assets we've recommended
- we will review the results of the consultation and the final lists will be approved by the two councils
The lists should be an active, evolving record of assets with heritage significance. Once this process is complete assets can still be nominated and will follow the same process.
