Types of heritage assets
There are 2 types of heritage assets in planning, ‘designated’ and ‘non-designated’.
Designated heritage assets in Enfield include:
Non-designated heritage assets are important buildings, structures, areas or landscapes with heritage value that do not qualify as designated assets. Our local heritage list identifies some of these non-designated assets in the borough.
Most archaeological sites are non-designated. This means they are not protected by listing or scheduling.
