Assessment/Nomination Form

This page contains an assessment and nomination template form which will help you establish the key features of a heritage asset. The form will help us provide a consistent way of assessing a heritage asset and determine its significance. This template captures the main points required to assess the value of a heritage asset and has been adapted to fit with existing criteria used by Local Authorities who already have a Local List. This form is based on a national standard recommended by Historic England to ensure consistency.
