Cabinet Report on Rotherham Local Heritage List (17 October 2022) – Item 61

Resolved Point 3:

That Cabinet approve delegation to the Head of Planning and

Building Control, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for

Jobs and the Local Economy, to include, amend or delete

heritage assets on the Rotherham Local Heritage List.

Decision:

Approve the inclusion of the Rotherham assets in the South Yorkshire Local Heritage List into the Rotherham Local Heritage List.

Reasons for the Decision:

The local heritage list approval and integration into planning

policy would contribute to the robustness of the Local Plan,

in line with national guidance and the approach of other

South Yorkshire local authorities.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Do not include the Rotherham assets in the South Yorkshire

Local Heritage List as part of the Rotherham Local Heritage

List

Not including the valued assets would mean a significant gap

in what is a South Yorkshire project. These items have been

identified by members of the public and agreed by the South

Yorkshire Assessment Panel as meriting inclusion. The

Council would not be abiding by the relevant central

government advice and the previous commitment to

maintaining an up-to-date system. The heritage assets

identified in the Neighbourhood Plans would be the only

assets in the Rotherham Local Heritage List and they are

limited to certain neighbourhood areas within the borough.
