What is a Locally Listed Heritage Asset?

A Locally Listed Heritage Asset is a building or site considered to be of special interest, because of its local historic, architectural, design or townscape value.

A Locally Listed Building is not the same as a Listed Building.  Listed Buildings are designated at a national level by Historic England, whereas Locally Listed Heritage Assets are designated at a local level by the council.

A Local List of Heritage Assets was adopted by Chesterfield Borough Council on 25 October 2019.  This followed a call for nominations from the public, assessment against selection criteria and consultation on the draft Local List.  The Local List will be reviewed periodically.
