Havering’s Local Heritage List helps our communities and the local planning authority to identify heritage assets (for example, buildings, monuments, sites and landscapes) that are much loved and a distinctive part of our local historic environment. It provides a comprehensive list of the location of assets and what is significant about them.
During June - August 2023, we asked for your comments on the criteria. Robust criteria ensure the local list is properly evidenced, which in turn allows each nomination to be given full consideration during planning decisions.
We received 21 responses.
The Local Heritage List criteria have now been updated, taking on board comments we received during the consultation. Changes include:
As part of Havering’s refresh of our Local Plan 2021, Havering Council carried out a consultation between March and May 2023 to ask people around the borough about their views on the characters of the areas where they live, work or study.

What we learned from 91 responses that were received to the online survey:
