The Member has taken the following decision. |
|
The decision will take effect on Tuesday 3 March 2009 |
|
Title |
|
Scout and Guide Headquarters (Tin Tabernacle) North Road, Widmer End |
|
Decision Taken |
|
Addition of Scout and Guide Headquarters (Tin Tabernacle) to Hughenden Local List of Buildings of Historic and Architectural Interest |
|
Date of Publication |
|
Monday 23 February 2009 |
|
Reasons for Decision |
|
The future of the Scout and Guide Headquarters (Tin Tabenacle) is uncertain. Although the present leaseholder is happy to continue the present arrangements there is no guarantee that this will continue indefinitely. Concern is being expressed by local residents and it has been requested that we consider the building for addition to the Local List. |
|
The Scot and Guide Headquarters (Tin Tabenacle) meets criteria i, ii, iii and iv of the Local List criteria included in Policy HE5 of the Wycombe District Local Plan to 2011. |
|
There is no established procedure for adding buildings to the Local List and it is considered that any public consultation exercise as would be the case when we consider a whole parish is unnecessary in this instance. Accordingly the Cabinet Member for Planning and Sustainability initiates the process by issuing a Proposed Executive Decision to add the Scout and Guide Headquarters (Tin Tabenacle) to the Local List for Hughenden Civil Parish, hence this decision. |
|
Local Listing does not bring statutory control over demolition and alteration but is a material consideration in any future planning applications for the site. |
|
Consultation Undertaken |
|
The request to add Scout and Guide Headquarters (Tin Tabenacle) to the local list came about as a result of local concern that the present leasing arrangements may not continue in perpetuity and that some other form of protection is necessary. Local listing does not protect the use, of course. |
|
Local resident Councillor Hugh McCarthy initiated the action to have the building locally listed. Local Members have been consulted on the proposal to locally list, and raise no objection. |
