TITLE OF REPORT: Local Lists of Buildings, and Parks and Gardens of Special Interest
REPORT OF: Derek Quinn, Group Director, Development and Enterprise
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The report proposes draft lists of buildings, parks and gardens of special local interest. It recommends that owners and /or occupiers of sites are consulted as well as amenity bodies. It also proposes draft guidelines for development of sites.
Policy Context
1. The Gateshead Unitary Development Plan refers to the existing local list of buildings and states “A large number of buildings of architectural or historic interest are of local value but are not listed. A list of these buildings within the inner part of the Borough was compiled by the Department of the Environment. It will be kept under review, expanded to cover remaining areas, and taken into account in considering development proposals.”
2. The Council’s vision for Gateshead contained in Towards 2010 includes a vision for “Communities who live in and contribute to a clean, pollution free, attractive and sustainable environment”
Consultation
3. Nominations for buildings and parks and gardens to be included on the lists were sought from members of the public and amenity organisations by way of an article in Gateshead News and leaflets distributed widely throughout the Borough. Respondents were able to send in nominations by post or on-line through the Council’s web site.
4. All ward members have been consulted on the sites that are recommended to be added to the lists in their wards. The next stage is to carry out consultation with owners and/or occupiers of properties on the draft list as well as local and national amenity organisations.
5. Consultation has been undertaken with the appropriate portfolio holders and a joint meeting of the Development and Employment and Environment Advisory Groups whose comments are contained in Appendix 5.
Implications
6. The background to the local lists review is detailed in Appendix 1. The draft lists of buildings and parks and gardens of special local interest are contained in Appendix 2. A draft advice note for owners and occupiers of locally listed buildings is contained in Appendix 4.
7. The Strategic Director, Finance and ICT confirms that there are no financial implications associated with this report.
Recommendations
8. It is recommended that:
i) The draft lists of buildings and parks and gardens of special local interest in Appendix 2 are approved for the basis of consultation; and
ii) The owners and occupiers of the buildings and parks and gardens in question are consulted on the designation: and;
iii) The draft advice note in Appendix 4 is approved for consultation.
For the following reason;
i) To continue to recognise, protect, enhance and promote the historic built environment of Gateshead.

APPENDIX 1
Background
1. The Council has an existing ‘local list’ of buildings of special local architectural or historic interest which has 69 entries on it (Appendix 3). However, this was drawn up in 1983 and, apart from a handful of properties, is largely confined to the area covered by the former Gateshead County Borough. Furthermore, there is currently no local list of historic designed landscapes such as parks and gardens. By comparison, in Gateshead there are 236 entries on the statutory list of listed buildings and 3 Registered Parks and Gardens which meet the national selection criteria
2. At the Executive Committee meeting of 24 October 2000 it was decided to review the list. Consultation proposals and a process for compiling the lists were agreed as well as criteria for their compilation. The criteria generally reflected those used to assess building for the statutory list of buildings or national Register of Parks and Gardens. They acknowledged that local historic associations and a greater degree of alteration may allow inclusion on the local list. Essentially, the local lists would be a non-statutory second tier of designations. The report also recognised the need to draw up policies to accompany the lists.
3. It is a positive way of recognising elements of the Borough’s historic built environment which, whilst not of national importance (such as Listed Buildings or Registered Parks and Gardens), are of significance to local communities and contribute to the distinctiveness of the Borough.
4. The selection process has involved three stages. Firstly, nominations for over five hundred sites were received by post and via the Council’s web site. There was an initial sieve of these nominations as some were already included on either the statutory or the existing local lists. The nominations included a great variety of different types and ages of buildings and designed landscapes reflecting the diversity of the Borough’s historic environment.
5. Council officers, with input from the Tyne and Wear Specialist Conservation Team and Local History Librarian, made an initial assessment of whether the nominated sites met the criteria. The criteria for buildings are based on: architectural interest, historic interest, close historical association and group value and the age and rarity of buildings is also a considerations. For parks and gardens the criteria are based on: the age and degree of survival of layouts, landscaping and other features, sites influential in the development of landscapes, representative examples of layout or the work of a particular designer, historic associations and sites with strong group value.
6. An independent panel then considered all the sieved nominations in light of the initial officer advice and their recommendations form the basis of the draft local lists which are contained in Appendix 2 of this report. This panel was made up of independent advisers and consisted of a landscape historian, a local historian and a consultant conservation architect.
7. All ward members were consulted in autumn 2003 on the recommendations for their wards. A joint meeting of the Development and Employment and Environment Advisory Groups considered the matter on 31 October 2003. The Report of this meeting is contained at Appendix 5.
8. The panel was reconvened in December 2003 to consider additional nominations made by members and to reconsider their recommendations on certain sites at members’ requests.
9. Of the four new buildings the joint Advisory Groups asked to be considered, the panel recommended that the former offices of Lilley Brickworks, the Dun Cow public house and Kibblesworth Millennium Hall should be added to the list, but not the Market Lane monument. In reconsidering their previous recommendations, they felt that it would be inappropriate for the Ebenezer Chapel, the Crawcrook Pinfold, the Travellers Rest or Home Cottage to be added to the list but that the Commercial public house should be added. The monument to Lang Jack in Whickham is on the statutory list and there is only one chapel in Ryton Cemetery.
Proposal
10. It is proposed that once the draft lists are agreed, they are subject to consultation with the owners and/or occupiers of the properties as well as seeking the views of local and national amenity bodies. At the same time, the owners/occupiers of properties on the existing list would also be notified to give them the same opportunity to comment. These views will be considered and final draft lists will be prepared along with policy guidance for the two lists. These will be considered again by Cabinet prior to a recommendation to Council.
11. The views of owners and occupiers will be taken into account but the decision to include a building or park on the list should relate to its special local architectural and historic interest rather than other matters.
12. The scope of the exercise has meant that it is largely in response to public views which gives it strength. However, there would still appear to be areas, both geographically and thematically, where the lists would still benefit from further review. For this reason the current exercise should be viewed as the start of a process rather than an end in itself. It could be considered that, following the adoption of the lists, periodic thematic reviews are carried out. For instance, there are very few agricultural buildings on the list of buildings and further research may be required to establish whether there are other buildings which would meet the criteria.
13. The local list identifies buildings and landscapes that help define local distinctiveness in the Borough’s built environment. Buildings on the national ‘list’ are identified using national criteria whereas the local list records sites which make an important contribution to the Borough’s appearance and heritage and give the various parts of the Borough their unique sense of place.
14. Inclusion on the local list would assist in making bids for funding (for example Heritage Lottery Fund) by showing that a building or park’s special character and interest has been recognised. The lists will also assist in the promotion of greater recognition, interpretation and understanding of the Borough’s historic environment.
15. Buildings or parks and gardens on a local list are not subject to any additional controls over alteration or demolition. However, inclusion on a local list is regarded as a material consideration when planning decisions are made. This would mean that where planning controls apply, any proposals would need to take account of the special local interest of the building or park.
16. This would not rule out change but seek to ensure that the character of the sites is fully taken into account when changes are being considered. Where control over demolition of buildings was in place (as is the case in conservation areas) then there would be a presumption against demolition unless this was unavoidable. As a general rule, the standards expected for alterations, extensions etc. to a locally listed building would be similar to those of an unlisted building in a conservation area.
17. As each building and its special character will be different, any proposals would need to be examined on a case by case basis. Inclusion on the local list would also need to be taken into account in the management and alteration of Council owned buildings.
Consultation
18. Nominations were sought from members of the public, local and national organisations via an article in Gateshead News, leaflets which were distributed widely throughout the Borough and to members of the Council. This was done under the banner of ‘Hidden Treasures’ and included an area on the Council’s web site where people could make nominations on-line as well as view the existing local list of buildings and statutory list. The launch of the consultation was featured on BBC Radio Newcastle.
19. 540 nominations were received. Of these 70 were already either statutorily listed or on the existing local list. 480 were considered by the panel and of these 262 are recommended to form the draft lists (27 parks and gardens and 235 buildings). This is in addition to those 69 buildings already on the local list. As well as nominations, two amenity bodies responded supporting the initiative.
20. The North East Civic Trust stated that “The compilation of a local list is a positive and pro-active approach to local authority conservation which will ensure their special local interest is considered during the development control process. I particularly welcome the opportunity being provided for local people to take part in compilation of then list as this not only gives the chance for the public to become more interested and involved in local conservation and heritage issues, but should also instil a sense of ‘ownership’ in buildings in the local neighbourhood, helping to encourage appreciation for and pride in everyday surroundings.”
21. The Ancient Monuments Society “..strongly applaud your initiative, particularly now that English Heritage and the DCMS have announced that there will be no more geographically comprehensive resurveys of existing [lists of buildings]…can we urge strongly that where your sweep picks up buildings that are clearly worthy of statutory protection that these are put forward to English Heritage/DCMS.”
Alternative Options
22. The existing local list does not reflect the whole Borough of Gateshead and to leave it in its current form would be unbalanced and fail to recognise the variety of historic buildings within the Borough.
23. The national Register of Parks and Gardens does not allow for the inclusion of designed landscapes which do not meet its exacting criteria. However, to rely on the three entries in the Borough would fail to recognise a number of parks and gardens which are of significant local historic interest.
24. A number of nominations were made for larger groups or areas of housing such as parts of estates. The panel recognised that these were of sufficient architectural and/or historic interest to qualify for some form of recognition for their architectural or historic interest. However, it was felt that their nature was such that their inclusion on the list was inappropriate given that they covered an area rather than a limited group of buildings. It has therefore been suggested that these be given an alternative form of recognition, such as ‘areas of special character’ and that these could then be considered for inclusion in the review of the UDP and subject to alternative scrutiny and consultation.
25. Similarly, one or two sites recommended for inclusion were more archaeological or industrial archaeological in nature than buildings or parks and it is recommended that these be considered as sites of local archaeological importance through the review of the UDP.
Implications of Recommended Option
26. Equal Opportunities Implications - None.
27. Crime and Disorder Implications - None.
28. Environmental Implications - The widening of the local list of buildings and the creation of a local list of parks and gardens for Gateshead will ensure that the rich historic environment of the Borough is recognised, and hopefully consequently conserved and enhanced, for this and future generations.
29. Human Rights Implications - None.
30. Ward Implications - Together, the draft local lists have entries within all of the wards within the Borough.
