Criteria for Local Listing as drawn up by Heritage Lincs are:
1.A candidate heritage asset should have some degree of permanence. It should not be easily removable for example street furniture fixed to the ground; artwork affixed to a building etc.
2.A candidate heritage asset should be of demonstrable local importance, positively contribute to the character of the local area and be worthy of preservation for the benefit of future generations.
3.A candidate heritage asset should be of greater significance than the general historic environment they form a part of.
4.A candidate heritage asset should be definable in its extent or area. This is clearer for areas, buildings, landscapes & structures. For sites of archaeological interest, a site should be readable for example as ruins or earthworks, or as legible cropmarks on a recent aerial photograph.
5.The condition of an asset will not preclude an asset from nomination for Local Listing.
Cllr. ID stressed that this was to be pursued to protect the characteristic of the village.
