6.1 There are 38 listed structures in Datchet parish which constitute designated heritage assets. All of these are Grade II listed and all are protected by national and local plan policy.
6.2 There is also the opportunity to identify other local structures which are of heritage value. These ‘non‑designated heritage assets’ do not hold the same value in heritage terms as listed buildings and scheduled monuments but they are assets (buildings, monuments, sites, places, areas or landscapes) identified as having a degree of significance which should be taken into account when considering planning applications which either directly affect the asset or its setting.
6.3 A number of non‑designated heritage assets have been identified in Datchet, as shown in Figures 6.1a and 6.1b and described in Appendix B. These non‑designated heritage assets, which were chosen by a community survey, will be added to any ‘local list’ that is prepared by RBWM.
6.4 The Datchet Design Guide 2021 is an important document in directing heritage development and development within the Conservation Area (as well as the Datchet Conservation Area Statement15).
6.5 It should be noted that the Datchet Conservation Area Statement was published in 1995 and RBWM intends to review it. Such a review is supported although it is considered that the Statement could be strengthened by including information on management of Datchet’s Conservation Area. Datchet Parish Council will work with RBWM to ensure the update reflects such matters appropriately.
