A listed building in the United Kingdom is a building or other structure officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located It is a widely used status, applied to around half a million buildings.

A listed building may not be demolished, extended or altered without special permission from the local planning authority (who typically consult the relevant central government agency, particularly for significant alterations to the more notable listed buildings). Owners of listed buildings are, in some circumstances, compelled to repair and maintain them and can face criminal prosecution if they fail to do so or if they perform unauthorised alterations. Because of this, and because listing can limit the options available for significant expansion or improvement, the law allows for owners of listed buildings to object to the listing.

Although most structures appearing on the lists are buildings, other structures such as bridges, monuments, sculptures, war memorials, and even milestones and mileposts may also be listed. A bridge is a Structure built to span a Gorge, Valley, Road, railroad track, River, Body of water A monument is a structure either explicitly created to commemorate a person or important event or which has become important to a social group as a part of their remembrance of past A war memorial is a building monument statue or other edifice to celebrate a War or victory or (predominating in modern times to commemorate those who died or were injured Ancient, military and uninhabited structures (such as Stonehenge) are sometimes instead classified as Scheduled Ancient Monuments and protected by much older legislation whilst cultural landscapes such as parks and gardens are currently "listed" on a non-statutory basis. Stonehenge is a Prehistoric Monument located in the English county of Wiltshire, about west of Amesbury and north of Salisbury In the United Kingdom, a Scheduled Monument is a 'nationally important' Archaeological site or historic building given protection against unauthorised change In England, this complex system may be rationalised under the Heritage Protection Review, see below. England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total UK population whilst its mainland

England and Wales

In England and Wales the authority for listing is granted by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and is presently administered by English Heritage, an agency of the Department for Culture, Media & Sport, and Cadw in Wales (where it is a devolved issue). History The Roman occupation of Britain was the first period in which the area of present-day England and Wales was administered as a single unit (with the exception The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas Act 1990 is an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom that altered the laws on granting of planning permission English Heritage is a Non-departmental public body of the United Kingdom government ( Department for Culture Media and Sport) with a broad remit of The Department for Culture Media and Sport ( DCMS) is a department of the United Kingdom government, with responsibility for culture and sport Cadw (to keep is a Welsh government body with the mission to protect conserve and to promote the built heritage of Wales. Devolution is the statutory granting of powers from the central government of a State to government at subnational level Listed buildings in danger of decay are listed on English Heritage's Buildings At Risk Register. Buildings at Risk Registers exist in several areas of the United Kingdom.

There are three types of listed status (in descending order of "importance" and difficulty to obtain planning permission):

There was formerly a non-statutory Grade III, which was abolished in 1970. [1] Additionally, Grades A, B and C were used in pre-1977 lists, for Anglican churches in use – these correspond to Grades I, II* and II. The Church of England is the officially established Christian church in England, the Mother Church of the worldwide Anglican

The government is currently proposing to abolish Grade II*. Despite 91% of respondents to the Heritage Protection Review voicing their opposition, English Heritage says it expects the proposal to become law, which would see many Grade II* buildings downgraded to Grade II. English Heritage is a Non-departmental public body of the United Kingdom government ( Department for Culture Media and Sport) with a broad remit of [2]

As of May 2003 there are approximately 442,000 listings in place, of which 418,000 (94. 5%) are Grade II, 18,000 (4. 1%) are Grade II*, and 6,000 (1. 4%) are Grade I. Forty five per cent of Grade I buildings are Church of England parish churches. The Church of England is the officially established Christian church in England, the Mother Church of the worldwide Anglican [3] There are estimated to be about 500,000 actual buildings listed, as listing entries can apply to more than one building. The criteria for listing include architectural interest, historic interest and close historical associations with significant people or events. Buildings which are not individually noteworthy may still be listed if they form part of a group that is – for example, all the buildings in a square. Sometimes large areas comprising many buildings may not warrant listing but are given the looser protection of designation as a conservation area. A conservation area is a tract of land that has been awarded protected status in order to ensure that natural features cultural heritage or biota are safeguarded

Government general policy is to list all buildings erected before 1700 "which survive in anything like their original condition" and most buildings of 1700–1840. More selection is exercised among buildings of the Victorian period and the 20th century. Buildings less than 30 years old are rarely listed, and buildings less than 10 years old never.

Although the decision to list may be made on the basis of the architectural or historic interest of one small part of the building, the listing protection nevertheless applies to the whole building.

De-listing is possible but rare in practice. One example being the November 30, 2001 de-listing of North Corporation Primary School, Liverpool. Events 1700 - Battle of Narva — A Swedish army of 8500 men under Charles XII defeats Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar.

Heritage Protection Review

In March 2007 The Department for Culture, Media & Sport proposed in a government White Paper major reforms to the system in England and Wales. The Department for Culture Media and Sport ( DCMS) is a department of the United Kingdom government, with responsibility for culture and sport A white paper is an authoritative report or guide that often addresses problems and how to solve them England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total UK population whilst its mainland This was the culmination of a 4 year review process. If approved, the term Listed Building will be replaced by Designated Structure. This was a result of a wide-ranging review to rationalise designations in which Scheduled Ancient Monuments, Listed Landscapes on the non-statutory parks and gardens register, monuments and maritime heritage sites would all also become Designated Structures or Sites. In the United Kingdom, a Scheduled Monument is a 'nationally important' Archaeological site or historic building given protection against unauthorised change It is proposed that the three Grades I, II* and II then apply to all Designated Buildings and Sites.

If approved by Parliament managing these new proposals will be the sole responsibility of English Heritage instead of the Department of Culture Media and Sport, as at present. English Heritage is a Non-departmental public body of the United Kingdom government ( Department for Culture Media and Sport) with a broad remit of
