Frequently asked questions
What is a listed building?
A listed building is a building or structure that Historic England has added to the National Heritage List for England because of its special architectural or historic interest. Listing protects the whole building — inside and out — plus, in most cases, structures attached to it or within its curtilage built before 1 July 1948.
What do Grade I, Grade II* and Grade II mean?
Grade I buildings are of exceptional interest (about 2.5% of entries). Grade II* buildings are particularly important buildings of more than special interest (about 5.8%). Grade II buildings are of special interest and make up roughly 91.7% of all listed buildings — most listed homes are Grade II.
Do I need listed building consent?
Any works of demolition, alteration or extension that affect the character of a listed building as a building of special interest need listed building consent from the local planning authority, in addition to any planning permission. Carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence, so ask the council’s conservation officer early.
