The local list provides an opportunity for people who live, work and visit Camden to work with the council to identify the valued and distinctive elements of the local area.
A local list is a collection of the features of Camden's local areas that are valued by the local community and that help give Camden its distinctive identity.
Entries on the list will be parts of the historic environment that are not already designated, for example a listed building, but which may nonetheless contribute to a sense of place, local distinctiveness and civic pride. These are known as non-designated heritage assets.
A non-designated heritage asset (NDHA) is an element of the historic environment that is not designated (for example, not listed or on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens). However it is identified as being valued by the local community, and may contribute to a sense of place, local distinctiveness and civic pride.
A non-designated heritage asset may be a
building,
monument,
site,
place,
area or a landscape
street furniture or other structures such as boundary markers, post boxes, memorials, lamp posts, and statues.
They can be important for a whole range of reasons which may include:
being the location of a historical event or being home to an important local artist,
a particularly good quality example of a recognised architectural tradition, or
it may have strong cultural significance for certain parts of the local community (either now or in the past).
