Horsham Town Local List
(Updated March 2011)
On 13 May 2010 Horsham
District Council's Cabinet
agreed to undertake a pilot study into locally
important historic buildings and to consult the public
on the principles of selection for inclusion on a list
of such buildings, as well as properties to be
included on the list.
What is a "local list"?
A "local list" is a list of buildings which are
important to the historic local context, but not
nationally important enough to be included on the
statutory "List of Buildings of Special Architectural
or Historic Interest" ("listed buildings") complied by
the Government. The "local list" in this document is
made up of buildings with historic and architectural
character which contribute positively to the historic
character of Horsham town. The designation does not
affect the buildings' "permitted development" - i.e.
no new permissions will need to be applied for as a
result of a "local list" designation.
What are the proposed criteria for inclusion on
the Horsham town "local list"?
Buildings are only eligible for "local list" status if
they do not have a national designation, such as being
a statutory listed building, scheduled ancient
monument, or within a conservation area.
The buildings on the list have also been assessed as
having one or more of the following criteria:
-
Local architectural
and/or historic interest
-
Close historical
associations with national or locally important
historic figures
-
Group value and/or
contribute significant interest in the street scene
-
Of pre-world war II
construction - however those built after this date
may qualify in exceptional circumstances.
The geographical area
represented in this list is Horsham town. For the
purpose of this document, this is the area within the
boundaries of Denne, Trafalgar and Forest
neighbourhoods, and the urban area of North Horsham
parish, to the south of the A264.
This is a pilot study; the first list
will not be exhaustive and there will be other
buildings in the town that meet the criteria. If
the pilot is generally received well, there will be an
opportunity to add to the list in future.
Public consultation
Public consultation closed at the end of July but you

List was adopted in February 2011 and can be accessed
