Statutory Listed Buildings, Locally Listed Buildings, Historic Gardens and Ancient Monuments.

document.

AM ANCIENT MONUMENT

Buildings have been identified. You are reminded that generally structures attached to or within
the grounds of a Statutory Listed Building will require Listed Building Consent for extension,
alteration or demolition.

2. COMMENTARY
Historic buildings are part of our heritage. They provide a historical perspective on the
development of both towns and countryside. Such buildings cover a wide range of architectural
styles and types of conservation, as well as being of historic importance. Many of the buildings
represent significant events in Surrey's history or illustrate the use of local building materials.
It is important that those buildings that contribute to the historic, architectural and visual
character of the Borough are preserved and safeguarded from unsympathetic change.
Protection is afforded to the buildings that are included in the statutory list of Buildings of
Special Architectural or Historic Interest. They cannot be demolished or altered in a
way that would affect their character without specific permission known as Listed
Building Consent. The list is divided into three gradings: Grade 1, buildings of
outstanding national interest, Grade II*, important buildings of more than special interest
and Grade II, buildings of special interest. Grades A, B, C refer to ecclesiastical
buildings.
There are some 428 Statutory Listed Buildings in the Borough (including 5 Grade I, 4
Grade B and 18 Grade II*). They range from coal tax posts, milestones and cattle
troughs, to three Grade I churches, Reigate Priory and Tadworth Court. The former
Reigate Borough area was surveyed by the Department of the Environment in 1976/77
and the Banstead and Horley areas in 1983/84. Over a 100 buildings have been added
by the spot listing process in recent years and further additions to the list will be added
in the future.
There is a strong presumption against the demolition of any Listed Building, except in
the most exceptional circumstances and the Borough Council will seek to ensure that
the existing stock of Listed Buildings is well maintained. The character of Listed
Buildings and their contribution to the townscape or landscape can be severely
damaged by insensitive alteration, extension or adjoining development. Therefore,
through the exercise of its development control powers the Borough Council will ensure
that any alteration or extension to a Listed Building, or development that would affect the
setting of a Listed Building, is of the highest possible design, and fully complements the
existing building. In certain circumstances a relaxation of normal planning standards
and building regulations may be appropriate.
The schedule identifies only curtilage or attached structures of known interest in the
grounds of Statutory Listed Buildings; 176 such buildings have been identified. Under
Section 1(5b) of The Planning (Listed Buildings & Conservation Areas) Act 1990,
generally structures attached to or within the grounds of a Statutory Listed Building will
require Listed Building Consent for extension, alteration or demolition. This includes
buildings originally ancillary to the Listed Building, but which may now be in separate
ownership, such as Lodges, farm buildings, coach houses, etc.
The Statutory list is supplementary by a "local list" consisting of 634 buildings and
structures identified as being of local architectural or historic interest. Whilst local list
status itself does not afford any form of statutory protection, it is an important
consideration in any planning application. Before contemplating works of repair or
alteration, it is advisable to contact the Borough Conservation Officer, as properties on
the local list are being constantly upgraded and added to the Statutory List. The
Borough Council will seek to ensure the preservation of buildings on the local list,
promoting good design, traditional materials and the conservation of historic fabric.

Many locally listed buildings are located in conservation areas and thus have a degree
of statutory protection. An Article 4(1) Direction has been served on a number of Locally
Listed dwelling houses to control external alterations. These are listed in Section 3.
Ancient Monuments
Under the 1979 Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act and the 1983
National Heritage Act, it is necessary to obtain Scheduled Monument Consent from the
Department of the Environment, for any works affecting an Ancient Monument. These
could include demolition, alterations, tipping or flooding.
The Borough Council has published a list of sites of archaeological interest in the
Borough that have been identified by the County Council, known as County Sites of
Archaeological Importance. Areas of High Archaeological Potential and other additional
sites have been added as a result of further studies by the County Council and other
agencies. However, finds may also be made unexpectedly in the course of
development, e.g. new roads, mineral extraction, redevelopment or farming. In some
cases preservation may not always be possible, or even essential, and excavation to
record the evidence may be sufficient. In these circumstances, the Borough Council will
co-operate with the appropriate organisations to arrange for the investigation and
recording of such remains as part of the development control process.
Historic Gardens
There are a number of gardens in the Borough, which are considered to be of historic
interest. Two of these, Reigate Priory and Gatton Park, are included in the Register of
Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England compiled by English Heritage.
No additional planning controls apply to gardens or parks in the Register, but they
receive special consideration if and when proposals for development in the area are
contemplated.
There are also 38 gardens on the local list of parks and gardens list. The Borough
Council recognises the importance of preserving such gardens at they form part of the
Borough's heritage, and will ensure that the character and appearance of such gardens
and their settings are not destroyed by insensitive development.
The Borough Council will seek the co-operation of owners and other interested parties in
surveying historic gardens, with a view to encouraging their future management and
restoration. Replanting of species of the period will be encouraged, where appropriate,
and the Borough Council will seek the advice of the County Council's Historic Parks and
Gardens Advisor on these matters. Development proposals affecting historic gardens
should be accompanied by an environmental assessment study which details the likely
effect on the garden and measures for its protection, restoration or enhancement.
Conservation Areas
Conservation Areas are not listed in the schedule but there is a separate list on the
Council website.
The Borough Council has powers to designate those areas considered to have special
architectural or historic interest as Conservation Areas. The Borough's Conservation
Areas not only preserve the best of the Borough's townscape and natural environment,
but also illustrate its evolution and provide an historic framework for future development,
where this is appropriate. There are 21 Conservation Areas in the Borough to date,
ranging in size and variety from the architectural interest and historic importance of
Reigate town centre to the rural setting and amenity value of Chipstead Pond and
3
Church Green.
Early consultation with the Borough Council's Conservation Officer is recommended for
all works affecting Listed Buildings before submission of any formal application.
Grant Aid
Some grant aid is available from the Surrey Historic Building Trust under Section 57 of
the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 towards the repair and
maintenance of buildings of architectural or historic interest.
