It is a widely used status, applied to around half a million buildings. Image File history File links Buckingham_Palace,_London,_England,_24Jan04. ...

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. Ancient, military and uninhabited structures (such as Stonehenge) are sometimes instead classified as Scheduled Ancient Monuments and protected by much older legislation though there are proposals to merge these in a 2006 "Heritage Protection Review". Similarly, cultural landscapes such as parks and gardens currently "listed" on a non-statutory basis will be given formal legal protection if this Review is implemented.

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 (in Wales) Cadw. Listed buildings in danger of decay are listed on English Heritage's Buildings At Risk Register. 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 for building works, notably including those of the listed building system. ...

There are three types of listed status (in descending order of "importance" and difficulty to obtain planning permission):
- Grade I: buildings of outstanding or national architectural or historic interest.
- Grade II*: particularly significant buildings of more than local interest.
- Grade II: buildings of special architectural or historic interest.
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. 1970 (MCMLXX) was a common year starting on Thursday (the link is to a full 1970 calendar). ...

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. [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. 2003 is a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar, and also: The International Year of Freshwater The European Disability Year Events January events January 1 Luíz Inácio Lula Da Silva becomes the 37th President of Brazil. ...

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 ten 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.

The scheme of listing is as follows:
- Grade A: buildings of national importance and superior examples of a specific type
- Grade B+: buildings of regional importance, or important buildings that would qualify as Grade A but for lower-quality design or subsequent additions.
- Grade B1: building of local importance, or good examples of some type.
- Grade B2: building of local importance, or good examples of some type, but of a lower quality than Grade B1.
Scotland In Scotland, similar legislation (the Town and Country Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997) applies. As with other powers regarding planning, conservation is a power devolved to the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Executive.

The scheme for classifying buildings is largely similar to its equivalents in the rest of the UK:
- A: buildings of national or international importance, and important examples of a specific type.
- B: buildings of regional importance, and notable examples of a specific type.
- C(s): buildings of local importance, and lesser examples of a specific type.
As of 2005, approximately 8% of listings are category A, 60% are category B, and 32% are category C(S). 2005 is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
