Listed building - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1012 words)
Listing was begun by a provision in the Town and Country Planning Act 1947.
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 and Sport and (in Wales) Cadw.
Although the decision to list may be made on the basis of the architectural interest of one small part of the building, the listing protection nevertheless applies to the whole building.
listed (1351 words)
Buildings are 'Listed' because they are considered to be of special architectural or historic interest and as a result require special protection.
The list of buildings is prepared by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport and properties are scheduled into one of three grades: Grade I; Grade II* and Grade II with Grade I being the highest grade.
Conservation Areas are, "areas of special architectural or historic interest the character and appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance".
