Date of Decision:

26 April 2024

Details of Specific Cabinet Delegation

or Delegation contained in the relevant Sub-Scheme of Delegation.

 

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

https://moderngov.rotherham.gov.uk/mgAi.aspx?ID=93613

 

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.

Agree that the locally significant heritage assets identified in the Borough’s adopted Neighbourhood Plans also form part of 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.
