Frequently asked questions

How many listed buildings are there in Wakefield?
Wakefield has 741 entries on the National Heritage List for England: 26 Grade I, 56 Grade II* and 659 Grade II. One list entry can cover several buildings, such as a terrace.
How do I find out if my building in Wakefield is listed?
Search the list below or Historic England’s National Heritage List by address. Remember that listing also covers attached structures and, usually, pre-1948 structures within the curtilage, so a garden wall or outbuilding can be protected even if it has no entry of its own. Wakefield’s conservation officer can confirm.
Who decides on listed building consent?
Wakefield as local planning authority decides applications for listed building consent. For Grade I and II* buildings the council must notify Historic England, and some applications go to the Secretary of State.
