Yesterday’s great news shows that research & recording projects are not just fun: they can lead to designation, & all its benefits.
Once registered, parks & gardens such as Campbell Park (now Grade II) have more profile, & more protection, as ‘designated heritage assets’. [1/5]

What does this mean? Well, within the planning system, it means:
When considering the impact of proposed development on their significance, ‘great weight’ should be given to their conservation
Any harm to them requires ‘clear and convincing justification’ [2/5]
When considering the impact of proposed development on their significance, ‘great weight’ should be given to their conservation Any harm to them requires ‘clear and convincing justification’ [2/5]
’Substantial’ harm to Grade II parks & gardens should be exceptional (‘wholly exceptional’ for Grade I or II*), & the proposed development refused unless certain tests are satisfied’Less than substantial’ harm should be weighed against the public benefits of proposals [3/5]
Planning applications affecting registered parks and gardens have to be brought to the attention of @HistoricEngland (Grades I & II*), and @thegardenstrust (Grades I, II*, and II), supported by the County Gardens Trusts. All of which brings careful scrutiny of proposals. [4/5]
Being on the Register can also increase eligibility for funding.
So, many congratulations to all the parks & gardens recently added to the Register, and to those who helped get them there!
