C.        Undertake a review of and consultation on additions to the Local List each year, subject to the availability of necessary resources, and present the report to the Borough Plan Advisory Committee.

The Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Housing and Transport presented the report which set out the recommendations of the Borough Plan Advisory Committee in respect of additions to Merton’s locally listed buildings to recognise their contribution to the heritage of the borough.  The proposed additions had been through an extensive consultation process and had been assessed by the Council’s conservation officers against seven criteria and proposals amended as necessary in response to the consultation responses.  The Cabinet Member thanked the Borough Plan Advisory Committee for their work and addressed their recommendations.  He proposed a minor addition to the third recommendation for an annual review to be carried out, subject to the availability of necessary resources and capacity as it was a very extensive piece of work.
