This means they are not ‘Listed Buildings’ on the Statutory List maintained by Historic England, but they are recognised to have significance that is important locally, and which will be taken into account when determining planning applications.
The buildings and structures included within a Local List are ‘non-designated heritage assets’. This means they are not ‘Listed Buildings’ on the Statutory List maintained by Historic England, but they are recognised to have significance that is important locally, and which will be taken into account when determining planning applications.
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.
