A 'listed building' is a building, object or structure that has been judged to be of national historical or architectural interest. It is included on a register called the "List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest", drawn up by English Heritage.
Listed Buildings are placed in one of three grades, which give an indication of their relative importance - grade I, grade II* or grade II. Grade I and II* listed buildings are a small proportion (about 6% nationally) of all listed buildings. They are particularly important to the nation's built heritage as buildings of outstanding architectural or historic interest. The remaining buildings are listed Grade II and represent an important part of our regional and local built heritage.
You will need Listed Building consent from the Council to demolish a listed building or for any alteration or extension which would affect its character as a building of architectural or historic interest.
