We are in active discussions with the local authority and Birnbeck Pier Regeneration Trust to try to find solutions for this iconic pier. Other at risk sites of former leisure industry remain challenging and none more so than Birnbeck Pier at Weston Super Mare, which continues to deteriorate since its closure in the 1970s. this outstandingly important Georgian lido, and the application is now under consideration by the Heritage Lottery und. We are especially delighted that the last remaining protected wreck on our Register, HMS Colossus an 18th-century warship off the Isles of Scilly is no longer at immediate risk following pioneering stabilisation work to the seabed. The South West has a number of fascinating historic sites, especially those related to our maritime history, including ship wrecks, ancient Cornish cliff castles and Palmerston forts around Plymouth. In addition, over 59 archaeology sites have been removed for positive reasons in our region, although 40 new sites have been added to the Register, including Worlebury Camp, Weston Super Mare, which has had its Iron Age rampart walls damaged and disturbed in the last year. These include 13 buildings or structures, and one such example is the Deer Park boundary wall at Dartington Hall which, thanks to a successful Heritage Lottery und scheme, is no longer at risk. Andrew Vines Planning Director, South West We have had a very successful year with 91 heritage assets removed from the South West Register for positive reasons. In the last year we have awarded grants of 1.76 million to 69 sites across the region, and we have also helped to secure significant additional grants and resources from our partners: the Heritage Lottery und, Natural England, trusts and private individuals. Over 160 sites have been conserved and are no longer considered at risk. The good news is we have already managed to meet our three-year target, removing 15% of sites from the 2015 baseline Register one year early.
Approximately 25% of the sites on the national Register are in the South West region, therefore our Heritage at Risk team and their colleagues are particularly busy helping owners and partners improve the condition of heritage sites such as the Lundy og Battery, one of our case studies below. 2 HERITAGE AT RISK 2017 / SOUTH WEST Contents Heritage at Risk The Register Content and criteria Criteria for inclusion on the Register Reducing the risks Key statistics Publications and guidance Key to the entries Entries on the Register by local planning authority III VII VII IX XI XIV XV XVII XIX Bath and North East Somerset (UA) 1 Bournemouth (UA) 3 Bristol, City of (UA) 4 Cornwall (UA) 8 Devon 47 Dartmoor (NP) 47 East Devon 72 Exeter 79 Exmoor (NP) 79 Mid Devon 80 North Devon 83 South Hams 88 Teignbridge 95 Torridge 99 West Devon 107 Dorset 110 Christchurch 110 East Dorset 111 North Dorset 115 Purbeck 123 West Dorset 131 Weymouth and Portland 149 Gloucestershire 150 Cheltenham 150 Cotswold 151 orest of Dean 156 Gloucester 160 Stroud 162 Tewkesbury 165 Isles of Scilly (UA) 168 North Somerset (UA) 173 Plymouth, City of (UA) 175 Poole (UA) 180 Somerset 180 Exmoor (NP) 180 Mendip 183 Sedgemoor 188 South Somerset 193 Taunton Deane 198 West Somerset 201 South Gloucestershire (UA) 202 Swindon (UA) 205 Torbay (UA) 207 Wiltshire (UA) 209 IIĤ Heritage at Risk is a key element of Historic England s strategy to preserve our rich and diverse national heritage.
