Nominating a Heritage Asset

If you have a place in your local area that is significant to you or your local community, it can be nominated to be included on the South Yorkshire Local Heritage List. All heritage assets nominated will be assessed against the selection criteria to determine if they qualify for inclusion on the list. As local knowledge is so important, the information gathered during the nomination of an asset will also be used to contribute to and enhance the South Yorkshire Historic Environment Record (HER). Even if the nominated asset doesn't make it onto the Local Heritage List, the information you provide will still help to increase our knowledge and understanding of South Yorkshire's past.

All heritage assets are eligible for nomination, including buildings, sites, monuments, designed landscapes and places; these all add to the distinctiveness and historical value of an area:

 Historic Buildings                  Archaeological Sites                   Parks                   Monuments                 Areas                 Landscapes               Gardens

Once a nomination has been submitted, it will be assessed against the Local Heritage List criteria. If more than one nomination is made for the same candidate asset, information from all the nominations will be combined and assessed as a single submission. Following this, successful candidates will ready to add to the South Yorkshire List. Information submitted will also be used to enhance the South Yorkshire HER, even for unsuccessful candidates.
