The Committee considered a report on a proposal to add the Royal Albion, 642 Oxford Road, to the List of Locally Important Buildings and Structures. The report identified the building as being of local architectural importance and made an assessment based on the Council’s published Local List criteria for inclusion to the list.  The following documents were attached to the report:

• Appendix 1 - Location map
• Appendix 2 - relevant photos and illustrations
• Appendix 3 - Proposed local list text

An update report was tabled at the meeting that explained that an objection had been received from the proprietor’s representative, raising concerns regarding the consultation process and asking for the opportunity for the proprietor to make representations prior to the Committee’s consideration.

The update report stated that, whilst the consultation process had been carried out correctly in line with the Council's Local Listing process, it was recommended that consideration of the item be deferred to the next meeting to allow time for the Council to review and respond to the matters raised, confirm the proprietor’s involvement and facilitate further engagement before the matter was determined.

The Chair requested that members of the Committee be sent information on the relevant policies about the criteria and process for local listing for their reference.

Resolved –

            (1)       That consideration of the report be deferred to the next meeting;

(2)       That information on the relevant policies about the criteria and process for local listing be sent to members of the Committee for their reference.
