Local heritage assets 

In Surrey Heath, there are many buildings and structures that may not meet the criteria for a statutory listed building but do add to the cultural heritage of the Borough. The result is that many fine buildings and structures that represent the early growth of areas like Camberley are unprotected by the statutory listing process.

Since 1989, we have compiled a list of local heritage assets. These are structures and buildings of local significance. They contribute to the character of the Borough and should be protected or retained whenever possible. 

Assets on local heritage lists are not protected in the same way as listed buildings but can be given protection through the planning system as ‘non-designated heritage assets’. These lists are maintained and managed by district and borough councils. They can include any building, monument, site, place, area or landscape which has heritage significance but is not recognised by another designation.

If you are in any doubt as to whether a building is a statutory or locally designated heritage asset, please contact the Planning Policy team.

Making changes to a local heritage asset

There are no special planning controls over works to a local heritage asset.

When assessing planning application that affect local heritage assets, we expect development to respect and promote the conservation and enhancement of the asset and its setting.
