Non-Designated Heritage Asset Supplementary Planning Document consultation


We want you views on the Non-Designated Heritage Asset (NDHA) Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) which sets out guidance on identifying non-designated heritage assets.

Background

We are passionate about our heritage in County Durham and this draft SPD provides detailed guidance on NDHAs, which are buildings, monuments, sites, places, areas or landscapes that have a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of their heritage interest, but which do not meet the criteria for designated heritage assets. It supports a range of policies in the County Durham Plan (CDP) which provides a framework for new planning developments and helps to assess planning applications.

What the SPD includes

The SPD covers the procedure for identifying NDHAs and assessing the impact of development on them.  It also includes a selection and ratification process, and the process for nominations and deletions.

Read the Non-designated Heritage Assets SPD.

Have your say

The closing date for comments was 5.00pm on Sunday 14 July 2024.

What happens next

Responses to the consultation will be considered in the second drafting of the Non-Designated Heritage Assets SPD. We will then consult again later this year. Any final amendments to the document will be considered and justified before completion and approval. Once approved, the SPD will be adopted and will be used as part of the planning application process.
