Listed buildings - statutory register
A 'listed building' is a building, object or structure that has been judged to be of national historical or architectural interest.
What is a listed building ?
A listed building is included on a register called the list of buildings of special architectural or historic interest, drawn up by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
The act covers any object or structure:
- fixed to the building
- within the curtilage of the building, which although not fixed to the building forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948
These elements are also considered to be part of the listed building and are therefore equally protected.
