Buildings at Risk
|
In order to be included in the Heritage at Risk Register, sites must be both:
Sites that may go on the register include several categories: Battlefields, Archaeology, Wrecks, Places of worship, Parks and gardens, Conservation areas and Buildings and structures. Buildings or structures (not in use as a public place of worship) considered for inclusion on the Register must be listed grade I or II*, (or grade II in London) or be a structural scheduled monument with upstanding masonry remains. |
Buildings or structures are assessed for inclusion on the basis of condition and, where applicable, occupancy (or use) reflecting the fact that a building which is occupied is generally less vulnerable than one that is not.
Occupancy (or use) is noted as 'vacant', 'part occupied', 'occupied', 'not applicable', or occasionally, 'unknown'. Many structures fall into the 'not applicable' category as they can be ruins, walls, gates, headstones or boundary stones.
Condition is noted as 'very bad', 'poor', 'fair' or 'good'. The condition of buildings or structures on the Register typically ranges from 'very bad' to 'poor', 'fair' and (occasionally) 'good' reflecting the fact that some buildings or structures capable of use are vulnerable to becoming at risk because they are empty, under-used or face redundancy without a new use to secure their future.
Assessing vulnerability in the case of buildings in fair condition necessarily involves judgement and discretion. A few buildings on the Register are in good condition, having been repaired or mothballed, but a new use or owner is still to be secured.
Buildings or structures are removed from the Register when they are fully repaired/consolidated, and their future secured through either occupation and use, or through the adoption of appropriate management.
In Tewkesbury currently we have three Grade II* Buildings or Structures on the register.

Also, we feel that the Toll House (Grade II) at the Mythe Bridge (which itself is on the list) merits being on it and the Society will attempt to get it included.
Other buildings may also merit registering, so the Society will conduct a survey.
