Residents across the whole of Dorset will now be able to nominate locally important buildings, structures, designed landscapes, sites and places to be considered on new Local Heritage Lists.
The idea is to make it easy for everyone to nominate and celebrate the heritage that is important to their local area. Dorset’s economy relies on the historic towns, seaside resorts, villages, and landscapes to draw hundreds of thousands of tourists every year – this heritage is a big part of what makes our county so special.
This is a joint project between Dorset Council and BCP Council using a grant of £70,000, from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
The Local Heritage Lists will provide a free publicly accessible record of non-designated heritage assets, whose conservation will then be a material consideration in planning decisions.
Land Use Consultants (LUC) working on behalf of the councils, will consider the public nominations using a set of criteria to create a baseline Local Heritage List for each authority. These will be regularly updated with new additions in the future, with the records of all assets being added to Dorset’s Historic Environment Record.
Local community groups are invited to find out more at online sessions on Thursday 3 March and Tuesday 8 March. If you would like to attend or have any questions, please email heritage@bcpcouncil.gov.uk
