Listed and locally listed buildings

Find a locally listed building

You can see if a property, structure or monument is a locally listed building using our heritage map.

Demolishing or altering a locally listed building

We can try to prevent you from demolishing or altering a locally listed building if it is of special architectural or historic interest. We may:

• apply for the building/structure to be "spot-listed" by the Secretary of State
• apply for a building preservation notice

When assessing a development proposal on a locally listed building we will:

• take into account the value of the building when assessing other proposals
• encourage you to retain or refurbish the existing building by being flexible with our application of other policies
