significant buildings, structures and pieces of public realm, which

Register.

1.        
That the positive
contribution that New Town Heritage makes in Milton Keynes’
unique character and identity, and its role in creating a sense of
place for new and existing communities, be recognised.

2.         That the
members of the New Town Heritage Register (NTHR) Selection Panel
who have committed substantial time to the project on a voluntarily
basis be thanked for their work, together with MK Forum for its
ongoing voluntary assistance in researching the potential heritage
significance of the nominated assets.

3.         That
the NTHR be adopted,
and the assets be non-designated heritage assets, making them a
material consideration in planning decisions.

4.         That
the timescale for
phase two of the NTHR (as set out in paragraph 6.2 of the report)
be approved. 

5.         That the
‘Black Horse’ by Elisabeth Frink and the three
