Locally Listed Buildings
Introduction
Locally listed buildings in England are buildings that are recognised as important to their local area, even though they do not meet the criteria to be nationally listed. Local authorities are responsible for drawing up their respective local lists of buildings that they consider to be of local importance, with each council having their own criteria. Once a building is locally listed, changes that require planning permission may need to carefully planned to ensure they protect the character or significance of the building.
Locally listed buildings do not have the same level of statutory protection as nationally listed buildings. However, inclusion on a local list designates a building or structure as a heritage asset, and as such its conservation is an objective of the National Planning Policy Framework.
This quick guide has been prepared to assist local authorities and registered providers that are considering making locally listed buildings more energy efficient. It is an introduction to the subject and those wishing to pursue this should refer to the other planning constraints and heritage documents on the RISE website.
