Agenda item

To receive the updated Enfield Local Heritage List.

RECEIVED a review of the Local Heritage List from Harriet Bell, Heritage Officer and Christine White, Heritage and Urban Design Manager.          

NOTED

1.    Key points were highlighted

2.    Local Heritage List was approved in 2018.

3.    PPG recommends review every 2 years. Heritage Strategy allows for annual review although programme disrupted by pandemic.

4.    New recommendations include 46 new entries, 4 removals, 8 amendments to increase and 1 amendment to reduce.

5.    8-week consultation to include direct mail and website. 

6.    Once responses are reviewed and information collated, there will be a portfolio decision and expected publication of decision is due spring-summer 2023.

The following comments and questions were received:

Q.   What work is being done in the east of the borough to provide better representation of this area of Enfield?

A.   Close working with REACT, EREC and Enfield Society from Heritage Strategy continuing to enable a group to be established on the east side of the borough to form part of the Heritage Forum.  This is an ongoing piece of work encouraged by proposals on the east side.

Q.  How can the Local List be promoted?

A.  This is part of the work to be considered as part of the comms strategy to update the revised list.  We will need to go out to groups and spread the word.  With the new Dugdale Centre opening, we can showcase what we know and ask them to promote on our behalf.  The Environment Forum can help in this regard by asking all participating groups to share the information.  Perhaps to showcase information on websites and forums on an easy-to-read document. 

Q.  Is it possible to send all the Members a link to advise them where the consultation is? Also, the Hadley Wood Local Neighbourhood Plan has been going on for many years now, what information is currently available regarding adoption or completion of this process and why has it taken so long?

A.  Harriet Bell will send the appropriate link out as requested.

      Regarding the Hadley Wood Local Neighbourhood Plan, due process is being adhered to and is ongoing. The Regulation 16 consultation is now underway.

Q.  Can additional information be added to the consultation?

A.  Nominations are now closed.

Q.  Are planners aware of sites from the GIS System?

A.  The GIS map should trigger notification of sites during the consultation in respect of our work.

Q.  When is the consultation starting?

A.  Governance is still in progress but should start within the next 2 weeks.

Q.  What are the four removals?

A.  Pymmes Mews, Hollywood Gardens, 27 High Street Southgate, Jubilee Park, Edmonton.

Comments:

·         Working collaboratively is a good idea, especially by volunteers who have done some training. Perhaps putting forward some additional heritage assets.  It is reassuring that only one big building is gone.

·         In Lancaster Road, there are some commemorative transfers erected which are proving cheaper than the traditional plaques. Owners may wish to have transfers on their buildings.

·         Planning Officers to be made aware of the locally listed buildings and should have appropriate markers on GIS system.

AGREED that:

1.    Members to be made aware of consultation link. Action: Harriet Bell

2.    Commemorative plaques to be considered.

3.    Planners will be asked to double check the weight of buildings on the Local List have on decisions made. Action: Harriet Bell

The Chair thanked the officers for their presentation and comments.
