Local listing does not introduce a requirement to obtain any additional permissions over and above those that are already required. Inclusion on the Local List means that the building’s conservation as a heritage asset of historic and/or architectural importance is a material consideration when a planning authority decides a planning application. Proposals for change will be decided taking a balanced judgement having regard to the scale of any harm or loss and the significance of the heritage asset. | |||
