Have your say on Salford’s local historic buildings, places, and spaces

Salford City Council is inviting residents to nominate the buildings, landmarks, and landscapes they believe should be recognised for their local historic or architectural importance.
 
The council is carrying out a full review of Salford’s List of Local Heritage Assets, also known as the Local List, and is asking the public to help identify potential sites to include.
 
The Local List recognises heritage assets that may not meet the criteria for national designation but are still valued for their contribution to the character and identity of the local area. These “non-designated heritage assets” can include buildings, sites, parks, gardens, or public spaces that have historical, architectural, archaeological or community significance.
 
The last full review of Salford’s Local List was completed in 2013. This new review is being undertaken alongside the city’s wider work to update all 16 of its Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans (CAAMPs), following funding secured through Historic England’s Funding for Capacity Building programme.

Lead Member for Culture, Heritage, Equalities, Sports and Leisure, Councillor Hannah Robinson-Smith said: “This is a chance for people to share what they value about their local area and help protect Salford’s heritage at a community level. We want to celebrate the places that matter to local people and make sure their significance is properly recognised as the city continues to grow and change.”

To nominate a building, structure, or site for inclusion, residents are encouraged to complete a Local List Identification Form, available to download on Local List webpage.
 
All nominations will be reviewed by the council against set criteria to assess whether they meet the requirements for inclusion on the updated list.
 
The Local List is used as part of the city’s planning process and helps ensure local heritage is taken into account when making decisions about development or change in the area.
