Local Heritage Listings assist us in identifying ‘non-designated’ heritage assets. Unlike Statutory Listed Assets, non-designated heritage assets do not benefit from statutory protection from demolition. Due to the scale of development proposed in the OPDC area, it is likely that there will be harm to, or loss of, some of these assets.

However, their designation ensures that their conservation is a material consideration in determining planning applications. It also helps OPDC to use the asset to shape the character of new development.
