- The Neighbourhood Plan identifies the following buildings and structures as Local Heritage Assets, listed below and shown on the Policies Map:
- Row of Cottages, Nos. 1-4 Chesham Road

- The effect of a development proposal on the significance of an identified Local Heritage Asset should be taken into account in determining planning applications. In weighing applications that directly or indirectly affect identified Local Heritage Assets, a balanced judgement will be required, having regard to the scale of any harm or loss and the significance of the heritage asset.
Supporting Text:
This policy designates buildings or structures as Local Heritage Assets in order to give them additional protection as heritage assets, in recognition of the important contribution that they make to the special character of the Parish. In validating its content, buildings and structures in each settlement which have a local interest have been identified, these have been described in Appendix D.
The Local Heritage Assets set out in Appendix D are regarded as ‘non-designated’ heritage assets by the community and not statutorily designated heritage assets. Some assets are part of BC’s Local Heritage List, however, this Plan clearly explains their local significance and what makes them valuable to the local community.
