East Devon’s local heritage list

  • by

The Vision Group’s website has the latest addition of ‘Built Heritage’.

 

And under the section on Sidmouth is a reference to the fact that the Sid Valley has more listed buildings than anywhere in Devon apart from Exeter:

For example the early 19th century thatched cottage, Grade II listed in 1951 as Pauntley Cottage. Now known as Marino Lodge

Marino Lodge, Cotmaton Road, Sidmouth

 

At the end of June, the council finally adopted new guidance on putting together a formal ‘local list’ – which would complement the Grade I and II national list:

East Devon Guide for listing local heritage assets

 

This brings a long period of consultation to a close and so the promise of moving towards formalising this ‘local list’:

Futures Forum: East Devon Heritage Strategy and Local List of Heritage Assets >>> report from strategic planning cttee

Futures Forum: East Devon Local List of Heritage Assets >>> process to go out to public consultation

Futures Forum: District Council postpones yet again its review into heritage assets

 

Although the council clearly sees local heritage as a priority:

Futures Forum: Locally Listed Heritage Assets: report for East Devon

 

As does central government:

Futures Forum: Local Heritage Assets: ‘making better use of the available resources to identify, protect and maintain the historic buildings and places that matter to local communities.’

 

To help this process, back in 2015, the Sid Vale Association put together its own consultation process:

Futures Forum: “What’s important to our local heritage?”… The Sid Vale Association’s “local heritage assets project” asks for nominations
