Report of the City Surveyor

The Committee received a report of the City Surveyor which provided a list of statutorilyprotected heritage sites which English Heritage regarded ‘most at risk of being lost through neglect, decay or inappropriate development’. The latest edition of the 'Heritage At Risk Register' (HARR) was published in October 2014.

Members were informed that the City of London Corporation had 11 heritage assets listed in the 2013 edition of the HARR. One of those assets, a section of the London Wall was removed from the 2014 listing, following repair and renovation works. Additionally, although the condition of Ashtead Park was noted as generally satisfactory, it remained on the register.

The City Surveyor informed Members that the purpose of the Wanstead Park Conservation Steering Group was to enable the overall management of the area and a further update on the matter would be provided to the Sub Committee in due course.

The City Surveyor explained the circumstances and issues for each asset at risk and set out the plans of action that were implemented to eventually remove them all from the HARR.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
