Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings

Nationally listed buildings

A listed building is a building, object or structure that has been judged to be of architectural or historic interest. Buildings are graded as Grade I - national importance, Grade II* - regional importance, or Grade II - locally important. The 'listing' of buildings is undertaken by the Government's Department of Culture, Media and Sport, following consultation with English Heritage.
